Oregon Cran-Apple Salad

This dish is my version of Waldorf Salad. Oregon is almost as famous for it's apples as Washington state, and also produces cranberries and hazelnuts.  I know these things because I'm a proud native Oregonian.  But you want to know how good this salad is. Once again, my potluck group has approved my culinary attempts and given this recipe an enthusiastic thumbs up. 

Many Waldorfs are heavy on the mayonnaise, but as I often do, I make a dressing of equal parts mayo and plain yogurt,  adding a splash of lemon juice to this one. This gives the salad a nice refreshing flavor. The most important aspect of this dish, however, is choosing crisp apples. I admit that Washington apples are mighty good too. If you like, choose both red and green or yellow apples to make this even more visually interesting.

Servings: 6      Serving size: 1/2 cup     Preparation time:  1- 20 minutes
​
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups apple, chopped with skin
1/4 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
    (Can substitute walnuts)
*2 tablespoon plain yogurt
**2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Ground cinnamon
Ground coriander

* Greek yogurt can be used with added milk
​**I use a light mayo from Trader Joe's.
Directions
1. Mix together the yogurt, mayonnaise, and lemon juice to make the dressing. Add a splash of milk if it seems too thick.
2. Combine the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl.
3. Add the dressings and mix well with the apple mixture. 
4. Turn into a serving bowl and lightly sprinkle on cinnamon and coriander. Chill until serving time.
​
Good cooking to you,
​Linda

    Linda M. Kurth is the creative mind behind such stories as the romance, Home of the Heart, and her  memoir, God, the Devil and Divorce, as well as the recipes and crafts you'll find in these pages. Here's how this blog began:
    ​
    "This chicken salad is fabulous" my writer friends told me at our little luncheon. "We want the recipe."

    "I've been thinking of starting a recipe blog," I said. "This will be the first dish on it. Will that work for you?"

    "Do it!" they urged. 

    I've thought about creating a cookbook for years, but with all of my other activities, I realize that's not going to happen in the traditional sense. So I'm happy to have this venue to share my favorite dishes and discoveries. I hope you'll find some dishes here that become some of your favorites too.
