📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool.

2. Wash the apples thoroughly. Dice the red and green apples into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for color and texture. Place the apple pieces in a large mixing bowl.

3. Add the red seedless grapes to the bowl, halving them if they are large.

4. Slice the celery into thin, bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the apples and grapes.

5. Roughly chop the toasted walnuts and add them to the fruit mixture.

6. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

7. Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss everything together until evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the fruit.

8. Line a serving platter or individual plates with butter lettuce leaves, and spoon the Waldorf fruit salad onto the leaves for serving.

9. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
