APPLE SALAD - Low carb - Low fat

APPLE SALAD
(Low fat, low Carb)

This receipt is close to what I have always called a Waldorf salad. A couple of the ingredients are the same but it does not resemble the cookbook receipt. I have usually made a similar one for holiday dinners, but today didn’t have white grapes and didn’t want to use whipped cream because of the fat content. This is what I ended up with. It was not the best, but good.

1.) Diced apples 2 ½ cups. I used Gala apples, but Red Delicious would be sweeter.
2.) Stir in enough lemon juice or real lemon to avoid browning of the apples.
3.) Add ½ cup each of:
a. Baby Marshmallows
b. Chopped Walnuts
c. Raisins

Stir in enough Hellmans Light Mayonnaise to coat the ingredients. The amounts listed make just over four cups of salad. One cup will contain less than 1 gram of Saturated Fat and about 42 grams of carbohydrates, according to my calculations.
