[donotprint]Apples are coming into season, so I think it’s time to reinvent a 100-year old classic.  My lightened-up Waldorf salad replaces the traditional high-fat mayonnaise with a tangy, orange-laced dressing dusted with nutmeg. It’s refreshing, quite tasty and super easy.
  
         For a more serious twist on this Waldorf salad, use summer tree fruit in place of apples. Here in California, peaches and nectarines are still available in mid-September.[/donotprint]
