Waldorf Salad Recipe
with Brown Rice
This tasty waldorf salad recipe includes classic ingredients mixed in with brown rice. The fresh apples and celery give it a nice crunch, while the walnuts and rice provide a smoother texture. I like to serve this at dinner parties and potlucks. It travels well and can be made ahead.
Waldorf Rice Salad
Serves 4
1 cup brown rice, uncooked
2 medium apples, cored and diced (not peeled)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup chopped celery
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup raisins or tart cherries
1/3 cup canola mayonnaise
¾ cup plain yogurt
1-2 tablespoons honey (depending on how sweet you like it)
¼ teaspoon vanilla
mixed salad greens(optional)
Prepare rice according to the package directions. Let cool.
Place the apples in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice. Add in the rice, celery, nuts, and raisins. Toss to combine. In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, honey, and vanilla. Blend well. Fold it into the rice mixture. Serve over salad greens, if desired.
Note: I have made this salad up to 2 days in advance and it keeps nicely in an airtight container in the fridge.
