Recipe - Waldorf Salad (v.2)

Had some leftover cucumber, carrot and celery in my fridge. So decided to do the Waldorf salad again. This is a modified one as no apples are used. Instead I used Japanese cucumber as it is very crunchy. Also, I wasn't too pleased with the version 1 as there was too much of the mayonnaise sauce which made the whole salad appeared pale. So this time, I decided to reduce to 2 tablespoon of mayonnaise sauce and add in carrot strips to make the salad more colorful.

Recipe:

Preparation time: Approximately 10 minutes (mixing salad only)

Serving: 2-3 pax

Ingredients

1 Japanese cucumber (peeled, sliced)

1 cup celery (thinly sliced)
1/4 carrot (cut into thin strips)

1/4 cup golden seedless raisins ('Ligo' brand)

1/4 cup toasted cashew nuts (chopped)

2 tbsp mayonnaise (I used 'Ajinomoto' brand as it gives a creamy texture)

1 tbsp lemon juice

Dash of pepper

Few pieces of lettuce (layered as a base for the salad)

Instructions

1. Whisk mayonnaise with the lemon juice until evenly mixed. Stir in pepper.

2. Toss cucumber, celery, carrot, raisins and cashew nuts into the mayonnaise mixture.

3. Serve salad on a bed of lettuce.
4. Top it off with golden raisins.
