Waldorf salad is one of those classic holiday (or any time) salads that can be a bit divisive. Some people love the creamy combo of mayonnaise, grapes, walnuts and apples. Others find it less appealing.

We think we've found a way to please everyone! This versions achieves a lighter, tangier, fresher flavor by using an ingredient that Grandma wouldn't have been easily able to find: Greek yogurt! Full-fat Greek yogurt, specifically, creates a fresh, delicious Waldorf salad that's good enough that the Waldorf-lovers will still love it.

And the disbelievers? They won't believe how tasty it is.
