Waldorf Salad: My way

3 apples diced (leave peel on)
I like to use 1 red delicious, 2 golden delicious
but any combination will work.
1/2 cup chopped pecans
(traditional Waldorf would use walnuts)
1 large celery stalk, diced
2 T raisins,
2 T crasins,
2 T golden raisins,
Toss these ingredients.

In a small bowl mix dressing.
Dressing:
1/2 cup mayo
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 Tablespoons of honey

Mix and pour over salad just before serving.
Sprinkle granola over top of salad.

Most Waldorf salads want you to peel your apples, but it is much healthier and easier to leave them on. This is a really delicious salad. Sprinkling some granola over the top, gives it just a bit more crunch, and makes it looks a bit nicer. A Waldorf is a terrific tasting salad any time of year, but during Thanksgiving when apples are on, it can be a tasty addition to your table.  You can also sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the top, for more of a holiday feel.
