Waldorf Salad with Rotini Pasta

Where's Waldorf
Eat, Shrink and Be Merry by Greta and Janey Podleski

Comments and Substiutions: This was a nice light and great tasting Waldorf salad with a bit of a twist. Instead of lettuce the salad is served on pasta. Obviously, we used gluten-free pasta.  Other than that we kept the recipe pretty much intact. Make sure you use very fresh and crisp apples for this recipe. We stuck with the Red Delicious apples, but we would love to retry this using different apples, maybe some Royal Gala's or Granny Smith's.

Recipe:

Dressing:
3/4 cup low-fat, vanilla yogurt
2 tsp honey mustard
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

Salad:
4 cups cooked rotini pasta
3 cups chopped, unpeeled Red Delicious apples
1 cup diced celery
1/3 cup toasted, chopped walnuts
1/4 cup minced red onions
2 tbsp fresh. chopped parsley

1. Combine yogurt, honey mustard, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Dressing

2. Toss remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add dressing and mix well. Chill for 1 hours before serving.

Salad without dressing.
