new waldorf salad

So i absolutely love a quick salad for any meal. especially when it involves fruit and veggies, which i can never get enough of. so i added some new things, to an old favorite, which was served at every family get together.

1 apple, cored and sliced
1 oranged, peeled, and sliced
grapes, halved-use as many as you like
2 celery stalks
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup toasted pecans-chopped or whole
lettuce cut up

dressing:
low-fat mayo or i prefer low-fat yogurt
orange peel
lemon juice
honey-warm in the micro for 15 seconds, it pourts better
cinnamon
salt and pepper-to taste

Chop up all the vegetables squeeze lemon juice on them, then add in the dressing, then chill for at least an hour and enjoy!
If you want a thicker consistency for yougurt, put it in a cheese cloth, tie up into a ball and but over a strainer in a medium sized bowl, over nite in the fridge. it will be like the consistency of sourcream, which is good, because after it sits in the frige for a while, it gets a little runny,so you are basically drawing out all the water.
