Cranberry Waldorf Salad

Sweetened, dried cranberries added to a Waldorf salad, in place of raisins, adds a whole new and wonderful change of flavor. This easy, kid-friendly recipe has no strong flavors, is dressed in a slightly sweet, low-fat dressing for all to enjoy, and the recipe can easily be doubled, or tripled, for larger families.

Recipe:

1 medium apple, cored and chopped (1-2/3 cups)

1/4 cup dried cranberries

3. Stir the dressing and pecans into the salad until the ingredients are well combined.
