Remove from heat and add 1 cup diced apples, 1 cup diced celery and 1 cup nuts. Refrigerate. (This salad is better if made the day before use.)
Thanksgiving Yams 2 - Scrub well 4 or 5 medium sized yams and bake until done. Place unpeeled in a food processor or blender. Add: 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 - 1/3 c. thick almond milk.
