Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Purple cabbage
- 1 cup Red grapes
- 1 Purple apple (such as Black Arkansas or Red Delicious)
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 2 Celery stalks
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Finely shred the purple cabbage and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the red grapes in half and add them to the bowl.
Core and dice the purple apple into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for extra color and texture. Add to the bowl.
Chop the celery stalks into small slices and add them to the bowl as well.
Roughly chop the walnuts and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Allow to cool slightly and then add to the salad mixture.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve the salad as a refreshing side dish, garnished with additional walnuts or grapes if desired.
