Today's featured SuperFood is yogurt! A few weeks ago, Stonyfield Farms contacted me and offered me coupons to try the new Oikos Greek yogurt. Greek Yogurt is a great sub for sour cream, mayo, or even oil in common dishes, like egg/chicken salad, dressing, marinades, and sauces. I decided to make Waldorf Salad for dinner tonight because organic apples were on sale, I had some leftover mint, and I had my yogurt coupon!
This salad was light, refreshing, and very flavorful!
Waldorf Salad
1 batch of whole wheat pita
1/2 lb. organic chicken breasts, poached
1 granny smith apple, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1/2 c. pecans or walnuts, toasted
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and pepper
dressing:
1 c. greek yogurt
2 tbsp. mint
1 tsp. dried dill
1 tbsp. chives
Salt and pepper
1 tsp. sugar or honey
Zest of 1 lemon, juice of half
Add all dressing ingredients to a blender, blend until smooth.
Add all salad ingredients to a bowl, toss in dressing.
Serve in pitas.

Can you believe I've never had a waldorf salad? Outside the locker room at my gym, there is a board that lists foods you should eat to help you get flat abs...and yogurt is one of them! I love it, especially mixed with unsweetened applesauce and/or canned pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteMmmm. I love waldorf salad. I also agree with you that yogurt is a great sub for more fattening condiments. I also just posted the goat cheese, artichoke spinach spring roll recipe on my blog if you're still interested.
ReplyDeleteI love the versatility of yogurt! And, man, does it sound delicious in this waldorf salad. You have me wanting some right now.
