My English and Finnish family really sticks to their traditions around the holidays. This is probably because we all attend church like, well, religion! I however like to think it’s because we all like spending this special time together.

Our Christmas meals have always been the same: plenty of traditional English dishes abound. I love our Waldorf salad, and my mother puts a special twist on it. She replaces the mayonnaise with greek yogurt!

Plus, I think the red and green apples add a festive touch to the dinner table. You can serve this over a bed of lettuce or you can munch on it as is!

 

Ingredients:

1-8oz. container of fat-free lemon Greek yogurt

2 green apples (such as Granny Smith)

2 red apples

1-2 stalks of celery

1/3 cup candied walnuts

1/4 cup dried cranberries

 

Instructions:

Chop the apples, discarding seeds, and slice the celery into bite-size pieces.
