Apples!

Our neighbor Greg left a bag of apples in the snake room for us on the first day of autumn. They are Red Delicious from the tree in their yard. Greg must have watered the tree because these apples are sweet and crisp and truly delicious. The Kitchen God was pleased.


This bounty called for Waldorf Salad. Nothing could be easier. I use these ingredients:

1 Red Delicious apple, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
3/4 cup seedless grapes (red, green, purple – it doesn't matter), cut in half
1/3 cup chopped English walnuts

Dressing:

1/3 to 1/2 cup Miracle Whip or mayonaisse
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

It isn't necessary to premix the dressing. I just add the dressing ingredients to the basics and stir them in. Also, the basic ingredients are flexible to your taste – more apple, more walnuts, more grapes, less celery – it doesn't matter.

The Kitchen God was pleased.


Dennis and I ate all of it for supper. Rats! I was hoping for leftovers.
