Apple, Raisin Cheese Salad

Here's a recipe my mom made when we were growing up. It was enough to feed 6 of us. I still enjoy making this every now and then.

1/2 cup raisins
3 cup apples unpeeled and diced. Use yellow, red or green apples
3/4 cup American cheese, diced small
Enough Miracle Whip salad dressing to coat well (about 2 - 3 Tablespoons)
If you're a Miracle Whip junkie then add more.

Mix well and chill until ready to serve.

If you don't like Miracle Whip then make it with mayonnaise instead.

Here's another version that I came across after I grew up and left home. This is also called Waldorf Salad.

Use the same ingredients as above but add a stalk of chopped celery and about a half cup of small walnut pieces. Use Mayonnaise instead of Miracle Whip. Chill until ready to serve. Either version is sure to be a hit!
