Instructions
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Wash and dry the apples. Core and dice them into bite-sized pieces. No need to peel unless desired.
Halve the red seedless grapes. Thinly slice the celery stalks into crescent-shaped slices.
Chop the cooled walnuts into rough pieces for texture.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Combine the apples, grapes, celery, chopped walnuts, and fresh parsley in a large mixing bowl. Toss to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Pour the prepared smoky dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss until everything is coated in the dressing.
Transfer the Smoky Waldorf Salad to a serving dish and garnish with extra parsley or a sprinkle of smoked paprika, if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
