This nutrient-rich version of the Apple Waldorf Salad contains more apples (with the skin on for increased nutrients and fiber) and the latest superfood fruit: dried cherries. Dried tart cherries contain anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants. Scientific research indicates that they may provide anti-inflammatory properties, help control diabetes and reduce heart disease and cancer risk. A lighter, reduced-fat mayonnaise keeps the fat under control. Makes about 12 cups (1 cup servings) Ingredients 4 large Fuji, Gala or Honeycrisp apples, cored and cut into ½-inch cubes 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest 1¼ cups dried tart cherries 1 cup thinly sliced celery ½ cup finely chopped red onion ½ cup light mayonnaise 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans Directions 1. Mix chopped apples with lemon juice and lemon zest in large bowl. 2. Add cherries, celery and red onion; toss. 3. Mix in light mayonnaise. 4. Refrigerate until ready to serve. 5. Add chopped pecans right before serving; stir well.
