I am currently loving this yummy “waldorf-like” salad.  Not only is it pretty, it is also delicious and nutritious.  The crunchy celery, tart apples, bitter greens, and sweet raisins all tossed in a creamy tarragon dressing is a match made in heaven.  It is an incredibly satisfying salad that makes a perfect lunch or light dinner. Enjoy!IMG_3225IMG_3235IMG_3248
