Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 crisp apples (e.g., Braeburn or Gala)
- 3 celery stalks
- 1 cup red seedless grapes
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 4 cups mixed leafy greens
- 0.5 cup Stilton cheese
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the apples, celery, and grapes thoroughly under cold running water.
Core and dice the apples into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the celery into thin slices and add it to the mixing bowl with the apples.
Halve the red seedless grapes and add them to the mixture.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Let them cool and then roughly chop them. Add to the bowl.
Add the mixed leafy greens to the mixing bowl to form the salad base.
In a separate small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by combining Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Gently fold the dressing into the salad mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Crumble the Stilton cheese over the top of the salad.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Plate individually or serve in a large salad bowl.
