Until this week.
My mother-in-Law presented me with a fruit basket for Christmas. As most of you know, I'm not a real fruit fan, but I also hate to waste good food. So I gave away the oranges and wondered what I should do with the apples, grapes, and pears.
Pears are a no brainer. We often eat them sliced with our dinner. We're fond of Empire apples, but not Red Delicious, and guess what kind of apples came in the basket?
So I thought--why not make a Waldorf Salad?
I got on the Internet, found a recipe and within about 15 minutes had whipped up something delish for our dinner. (Lucky I had all the ingredients on hand, eh?)
I've still got four more apples, but no more grapes (and they're not cheap this time of year). Aha! You can substitute raisins for grapes.
Guess what I'm making this weekend?
What's your favorite fruit recipe?
Carrot-raisin salad! With bits of pineapple and apple. Yum. I can happily eat just that for a meal.
ReplyDeleteBut that Waldorf Salad looks so good, I might just have to have one. Ooh, maybe a collection of classic hotel specialties for our New Year's Eve romantic-dinner-at-home?
We're both fruit fanatics, so although I often want to make Waldorf Salad, I usually find that we've eaten every single apple in the house as well as the other fruit. Right now we're feasting on tangerines and grapefruits. Yummmm!
ReplyDeleteIn fact I'm making a waldorf salad to take to friends house for a new years eve get together. Thanks for the idea.
