Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 quarter cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 quarter cup raisins (optional)
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the apples thoroughly and pat dry. Core and dice the apples into bite-sized pieces.
Place the diced apples in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss well to prevent browning.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and ground cinnamon until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the yogurt mixture over the diced apples. Gently toss until all the apple pieces are evenly coated.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or bowls. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving.
