Wash and core the apples. Dice them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the celery stalks finely and add them to the bowl with the apples.
Wash and halve the grapes. If they have seeds, remove them. Add the grape halves to the salad mixture.
Coarsely chop the walnuts and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3–5 minutes, until fragrant. Let them cool, then add to the salad.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and gently toss everything until well coated.
Rinse and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Arrange them on individual plates or a platter as a base for serving.
Spoon the Apple Waldorf Salad onto the lettuce leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
