Curried Waldorf Salad

We wanted to call this “better than Waldorf” as it tasted so good. Slightly sweet with a hint of heat and full of crunch.

Ingredients:

for the salad:

• 2 apples, peeled and cut into small pieces
• 1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
• 3 stalks celery, cleaned and chopped
• 1/4 cup golden raisins

for the dressing:

• 1/2 cup soy yogurt
• 1 Tbs. walnut oil
• 1 tsp. garam masala
• 1 tsp. curry powder
• 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
• 1 Tbs. agave syrup
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
• Tabasco (optional)
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Make the dressing first by mixing the dressing ingredients.
2. Cut the celery into small pieces.
3. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Cut the walnuts into small pieces, and then peel and cut the apples into small pieces.
5. Pour the dressing over the fruits and vegetables add the golden raisins and mix well.
