Saturday Salads

So you know how McDonalds has a "fruit and walnut" salad? I treated the 2 younger kids to McD's while the eldest child was on a playdate with a friend and my was I tempted to buy it. However *sigh* I decided to save the money instead {go me!}, it costs way more than I think it should - but then doesn't everything? Free would be nice! My self-restraint was well rewarded when I was introduced to a Waldorf Salad at our church book study that evening. I have heard of this salad but can't say I've ever had it... but it is AWESOME and full of all the things I love. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

3 tablespoons orange juice

3. Drain the apples and add to mayo mixture, along with the celery and grapes. Stir until the ingredients are evenly coated.
