Waldorf Salad Recipe

You can use golden raisins or cranberries or a mixture instead of raisins. This recipe can be used as a salad or even as dessert. The lemon is not just for taste but will keep the apples from turning brown when exposed to air. You can use whatever type of apple you choose but we think Granny Smith apples are best. The marshmallows are optional too. If used you get a sweet salad that is useable as a dessert. Without them it is a good side salad for holiday meals

Ingredients
6 each Apple, cored and diced
1 1/8 cups Mayonnaise
3 teaspoons Lemon Rind, grated
1 1/2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 1/2 cups Celery, diced small
3/4 cup Pecan, Dry-roasted, chopped
1 1/2 cups Raisin, Golden Raisins preferred
1 1/2 cups Marshmallows, miniatures (Optional)

Directions
Bring one cup of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in raisins or dried cranberries. Let stand for 10 minutes and drain.
Roast or toast pecans in a skillet. Set aside to cool.
Stir together all ingredients in a large salad bowl, cover and chill before serving.
