Begin by preparing your vegetables and fruits. Shred the green cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer until you have 4 cups. Dice the red apple into small cubes, ensuring to remove the core.
Place the diced apple in a small bowl and toss with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Halve the grapes and thinly slice the celery stalks.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, diced apple, halved grapes, sliced celery, and chopped walnuts.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or black pepper.
Transfer the Cabbage Waldorf Salad to a serving bowl or platter. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes for extra crunch and flavor.
