Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Crisp apples (such as Granny Smith or Fuji)
- 2 stalks Celery stalks
- 1 cup Red seedless grapes, halved
- 0.5 cup Walnuts, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash and dry the apples, celery, and grapes. Core the apples and dice them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on if preferred.
Slice the celery stalks thinly and cut the grapes in half.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, sliced celery, halved grapes, and chopped walnuts.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately on a bed of fresh lettuce leaves, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving for a colder option.
