Instructions
Start by preparing the apples. Core and dice the Granny Smith and red apples into small bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the celery stalks thinly and add them to the apples.
Peel and shred the carrot, then add it to the mixing bowl.
Finely shred the red cabbage and add it to the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the fresh lemon juice, low-fat yogurt, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the apple and vegetable mixture in the large bowl. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients in the dressing.
Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the salad, along with the walnut halves. Gently toss again to distribute evenly.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or individual plates. Serve immediately for optimal freshness and crunch.
