This salad is a variation on the traditional Waldorf salad, but is much lighter with the sparkling tang of cranberries. Try to use local produce if you can, and make sure the apples are crisp and sweet. Good, local Red Delicious apples go very well in this salad, as do many other sweet varieties. Toast nuts by placing them on a baking sheet and heating in a 375-degree oven for 5 minutes.

  • For dressing:
  • 1 can jellied cranberry sauce
  • 4 oz. goat cheese (chèvre)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • For salad:
  • 2 crisp apples, diced medium
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 cup grapes
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup pecans or walnuts, toasted
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh mint (optional)
