I enjoy playing around with recipes, trying to create tastes that I like without sacrificing my diabetic diet, shares Jean Mabis of Shumway, Illinois. A creamy pudding-and-yogurt dressing drapes this healthy updated version of the traditional Waldorf salad. Ingredients:
1/2 cup raisins |
1 cup boiling water |
4 cups chopped unpeeled red apples |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced |
1 cup (8 ounces) fat-free plain yogurt |
2 tablespoons sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix |
sugar substitute equivalent to 2 tablespoons sugar, optional |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Place raisins in a small bowl; add boiling water. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Drain.
2. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Stir in celery and raisins. Combine the yogurt, pudding mix and sugar substitute if desired; pour over apple mixture and toss to coat.
3. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Just before serving, stir in walnuts. Yield: 6 servings.
