Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large oranges
- 2 medium apples
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 cup red seedless grapes
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the oranges, remove any seeds, and cut them into bite-sized segments. Set aside.
Rinse and core the apples, then chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. You can leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Slice the celery stalks thinly, creating small crescent-shaped pieces.
Rinse the grapes and cut them in half lengthwise.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Let them cool slightly, then roughly chop them.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, and salt to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the orange segments, apple pieces, celery slices, grape halves, and chopped walnuts.
Pour the dressing over the fruit and nut mixture, and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
