Pear Waldorf Salad

     I was going through one of my Taste of Home cookbooks and ran across a version of Waldorf salad that included pears, grapes, walnuts, mayo and cottage cheese. This doesn’t work for my lifestyle because it tandem fuels with both S and E fuels.

     So I adapted it to fit my THM lifestyle. This makes enough for 4-5 servings which gives me a good go to lunch or snack when needed. This is a higher carb option which makes it an E meal/snack for THM mama’s.

     I adore the Waldorf Cottage Cheese Salad recipe on page 300 of Trim Healthy Mama . It has been my go to E meal for lunch and breakfast since I first tried it. This recipe is huge, so I normally have to split it into a meal and a snack since I can’t seem to eat it all in one sitting.
