VEGAN WALDORF SALAD

Steps:

• The first thing to do to make this simple, satisfying salad (I like alliteration, OK?) is to cut up all your apples, celery, and grapes. I just slice my grapes in half. Give a rough chop to your walnuts too if they're not already in pieces when you buy them. TIP: walnut pieces are cheaper than whole walnuts because it's harder to extract the nut from the shell without breaking it, so they usually put a higher price on whole nuts. The same is true with other nuts, especially cashews which are very expensive.
• For the lettuce, wash and dry the leaves. I like to use a salad spinner for this. If you're going to mix your greens into the salad, cut them or tear them into bite sized pieces. If not, line them around a bowl like I did.
• Make the dressing: add all dressing ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth. If you're going to just mix your greens in, add everything to one bowl and mix it all up and serve! You're done!
• If you're going that extra step to make it look pretty, mix the chopped ingredients and the dressing well in a separate bowl, then add that mixture carefully to your leaf lined bowl.
• Refrigerate the salad for up to 3 days in the fridge. The lettuce may wilt a bit. If you are making this in advance for an event, I'd make it no more than 12 hours in advance for best results.
