Celebrate apple season with a trip to a local orchard to pick your own crisp apples fresh from the trees. Then prepare a Creamy Waldorf Salad. This lightened-up take on a classic still includes walnuts, celery and grapes, but the salad base consists of healthy fat-free Greek yogurt. In the mood for a sweet-tart taste? Use Granny Smith apples or toss in dried cranberries.

Tips & Notes
