Two-Pear Waldorf Salad
Description
This revitalized Waldorf salad swaps heavy mayonnaise for a light, zesty dressing made with lowfat yogurt and fresh lime juice. The combination of crunchy Bosc pears and juicy Asian pears provides a delightful textural contrast, while red grapes add bursts of sweetness. Tossed with crisp celery and toasted walnuts, this dish is both refreshing and satisfying. It is an excellent choice for a light lunch, a healthy side dish for summer barbecues, or a quick meal prep option. The bright citrus notes cut through the richness of the nuts, creating a balanced flavor profile that feels homemade and wholesome.Ingredients
