It’s one of those days and you just don’t feel like doing anything more strenuous than clicking the remote or turning the pages in your favorite and closely guarded “Smiling Chef Recipe Book.” Alright, alright, maybe not exactly a book. But I can dream, can’t I?
Anyway, a few days ago you went grocery shopping and now you just happen to have the ingredients for this really healthy recipe that you just found in my book (this is my story) right in your fridge. And it’ll just take you about 15 minutes to prepare.
Well get up and GO FOR IT! It’s simple and easy and especially tasty. And you won’t feel a bit of guilt for being extra lazy today. It’s healthy too.
CARROT-WALDORF SALAD (serves 8)
2 cups shredded carrot (rinse well in a colander; you can buy the package already shredded if you like)
1-1/2 cups chopped Red Delicious apple (sprinkle with lemon juice to keep apples from oxidizing)
1 cup of sliced celery (looks really nice if you slice on the bias)
1/4 cup pitted chopped dates
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup nonfat mayonnaise
2 tbsp juice from an orange
1 tsp orange zest from the same orange
fresh spinach leaves

Pretty tasty, isn’t it?
