Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (preferably Gala or Fuji)
- 2 stalks Celery stalks
- 1 cup Red grapes
- 0.5 cup Walnuts (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry all the apples, celery, and grapes thoroughly.
Core and chop the apples into small bite-sized cubes. Leave the skin on for added color and texture.
Slice the celery into thin pieces and halve the grapes if they are large.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, sliced celery, halved grapes, and chopped walnuts.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and toss gently but thoroughly to ensure everything is coated evenly.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with fresh parsley (if desired) for garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled option.
