Weekly Recipe: Apple, Celery and Walnut Salad

This recipe appeared in Parade Magazine in Sunday's paper. As published, it was 5 Points value per serving. That might be okay for some, but with a daily target of 19 Points a day, I knew I could get it leaner. I recommend using Greek-style yogurt in this, to replicate the tartness of the mayonnaise/sour cream used in the original.

Apple, Celery and Walnut Salad
Serves 4
3 Points value

2 Fuji apples, diced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 ribs celery, diced
1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Toss the apples with the lemon juice in a bowl. Add celery, walnuts, and raisins, then toss. Fold in the yogurt. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
