Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces crisp apples (e.g., Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 pieces celery stalks
- 1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 cups mixed baby greens (optional)
Instructions
Wash and core the apples, then chop them into bite-sized pieces. Leave the peel on for added color and nutrients.
Place the chopped apples in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with lemon juice. Gently toss to coat, which will help prevent browning.
Thinly slice the celery and add it to the bowl with the apples.
Add the halved grapes and chopped walnuts to the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, salt, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
Pour the yogurt dressing over the apple mixture and gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve the salad as is, or over a bed of mixed baby greens for additional texture and color.
Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together.
