Waldorf Salad for One

My mom used to make this on a warm summer day—it’s refreshing, fast, and delicious--it's also a nice winter offering. I like to double the recipe and eat it as a main course and it makes a nice side dish for an al fresco meal, too.

½ an apple (sweet or sour, your choice)

1 rib of celery

1 green onion

A handful of raisins

A handful of walnut pieces

1 TBLSP parsley, chopped

1 TBLSP vegan mayonnaise

¼ teaspoon lemon zest

A squirt of lemon juice

½ teaspoon agave nectar

Salt and pepper to taste.

1. Chop the apples, slice the celery and onion, and put them, with the parsley, raisins, and walnut pieces in a small bowl.
2. In another small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, zest, lemon juice, agave, and salt and pepper with a whisk. (If you’re taking this on a picnic, don’t add the salt, because it will make things wilt.)
3. Drizzle the dressing over the apple mixture and stir to combine.

It's great served on a bed of bitter greens, but it does just fine on its own, too.
