My Waldorf Salad

So now I'm "obsessed" with cooking - that is: I can't stop watching the Food Network and every other cooking show in different channels. 

It's really cool to try new flavors and experiment in the kitchen. They only problem: having to wash so many pots and pans and spoons and forks. However, I'm trying to be more creative with what I cook, though I can rival my sister. She's amazing. 

This salad, I didn't see it on TV, actually a friend ordered one during lunch one afternoon and thought, hmmm I can totally make that. So a few days later, after buying the ingredients, I did! And it was delicious, the crunchiness of the celery and the sweetness of the raisins...  Plus the colors are so pretty!

Ingredients: 

Raisins, 2 green apples, 4 celery sticks and lettuce. You can also add walnuts!

Instructions: 

Chop the celery, break (don't cut) the lettuce into small pieces, then cut the apples. Mix everything and add as many raisins as you want, the walnuts and a little pepper. Serve and eat right away otherwise the apple will start to turn brown. (To prevent this you can add lemon to the apples).

Makes three servings.  

Dressing: 

I think there's a specific dressing for this salad with mayonnaise, but I opted for a honey mustard one. Just mix some a tablespoon of honey with a teaspoon of mustard.
