Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Red seedless grapes
- 3 cups Green seedless grapes
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 1 cup Bleu cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the red and green seedless grapes. Slice each grape in half and set them aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and allow them to cool slightly, then roughly chop them.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the halved grapes in the mixing bowl and gently toss to coat the grapes evenly.
Add the crumbled bleu cheese and toasted walnuts to the salad, and gently fold them in.
Transfer the grape salad to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
