Sweet ‘n’ Crunchy Apple Salad
Your kids, like mine, may not be too fond of dates. Mine just won’t eat them right out of the bag, but they will if I mix the dates in with some of their favorite foods. All these great flavors swimming around in honey-yogurt dressing may be just the thing to get your kids to dig in!
2 medium apples, cored and chopped
1 Tablespoon and 3 Tablespoons orange juice
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
¾ C. chopped celery
1/3 C. chopped dates
1/3 C. raisins
½ C. plain nonfat yogurt
2 Tablespoons honey
To prevent browning, toss apples in a bowl with 1 Tablespoon of orange juice and 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice. Coat well. Add celery, dates, and raisins. Mix together yogurt, honey, and 3 Tablespoons orange juice to make a dressing. Pour over fruit mixture and blend well. Cover and chill for 30 minutes before serving. (Serves 6)
