"A light and tasty version of my favorite salad that can easily be doubled. **Made for RSC and edited to say just toss the pecans in egg whites!**"

This was wonderful for lunch today! I omitted the celery and replaced the raisins with dried cranberries. I didn't have any yogurt, so I used a low fat sour cream. Delish! Thanks for the great recipe, Anme!

OMG could it be! A LOW FAT Waldorf Salad for ME! Make chicken pickliscious with chicken thighs, TRUE! http://www.recipezaar.com/211489 Dill pickle juice added to flavour too! used low fat vanilla yogurt too! Love the taste and had on hand too! Used no sugar maple syrup as was easier in fridge to reach, yes! Did I LOVE this recipe? Don't think you'll have to GUESS! Place salad in fridge for about an hour too, As like my salads cold especially on a day when we're now having a heat wave, TRUE! THANKS!

Refreshing salad. The nuts could have been a hastle but I followed MarraMamba's advise and used a baking sheet under them for easier clean-up. I used honey this time but might use maple syrup and walnuts for a nice change. Thanks Anme.

great great salad. I low fat lemon yogurt since i was out of plain, and enjoyed every bite. All i had was pecan pieces so i expected to have to remove them from bits of meringue, and they did taste great. Used baking paper so i didnt mess up the cookie sheet

I just loved this salad with it's truly unusual but unique dressing. Such a nice change from my usual chicken salad. My one lament here pertained to the pecans and egg whites which were a bit of a mess and ended up as a messy spatter on the baking sheet. I think this would have worked better to do a simple scramble of the white and lightly rolling the nuts in before tossing with the sugar. As it was there was too much merengue on the nuts which pooled and burned. Thanks!

I'm just a girl whos passion is for cooking, well some people would call it an obbsession rather.... I am a college student at RIT going for food management and prep, my favortie things! Most of my orignal recipes are made from left overs since I cook for one or two most days so there are always left overs in my house. I play mad scientist most days in my kitchen with left over chicken breasts lol. I am also a health food freak and a major gym rat, so I am always on the look out for good subs for the more unhealthy ingredients in most recipes. Also I am just starting to take pictures of the food I make on this site, so my photos are anything but stellar yet so I will not be offended in any way if you chooses not to use my pictures. <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png" border="0" alt="Made by Bella14ragazza"> <a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/tisht/?action=view¤t=tish2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/tisht/tish2.jpg" border="0" alt="Recipezaar Challenge 2008"></a> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view¤t=newtaginethbanner.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/newtaginethbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/CV.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-11/484938/Spelling-Bee-stick2jpg.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj240/marienixon_715/kittencaljpg.jpg"> <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/ScrapBook.png" border="0" alt="Made by Bella14ragazza"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/ApronSwap2007.jpg" border="0" alt="Made by Bella14ragazza"> <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/RedWhiteBlue.jpg" border="0" alt="Made by Bella14ragazza"> <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/28636/zwt3banner.jpg"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a209/tlonghorn/banners/BBQ2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> <img src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/TasteofYellow.jpg> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Derfcookathon.jpg">
