For Mother's Day, we went to a Chinese buffet, and they had a delicious looking apple and cantalope salad there. I tried a little, but was apprehensive about "what" might be in it.

Well, last night I washed, cored, and cut two apples into bite sized pieces, and then poured on a probiotic lowfat peach yogurt that I had in the frig. I stirred it up and put it in the frig for today... I thought it looked kind of pretty, and looked forward to having some.

Well, this morning my husband said, "Boy, that apple stuff was really good!" Apparently, instead of consuming a half gallon of ice cream or a full (large) bag of potato chips last night when he got hungry, he sat down and "ate the WHOLE apple salad"... LOL :laugh: (Golly, as a result he ate two "healthy" apples and a "healthy" yogurt!!!!!! :wink: ) Good thing I have more apples and yogurts in the frig... :happy:

Someone probably has already discovered this easy salad, but thought I'ld share... Guess I never thought of using a flavored yogurt as a salad dressing before... :ohwell: Previously I had used the Lite Miracle Whip and tried to use the least amount necessary.

    Sounds yummy!

    Another really good apple salad I had was from a Thai restaurant. All it was was shredded green apples, a little bit of toasted coconut, a handful of cashews and a little bit of chicken. No dressing or anything on it (except maybe some lime juice to keep the apples from turning brown). SO GOOD!
