Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces apple (such as Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup walnuts or pecans (chopped)
- 0.25 cup raisins or dried cranberries
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the apples thoroughly and pat them dry. Core and dice the apples into bite-sized pieces. There's no need to peel them unless desired, as the skin adds texture and nutrients.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey, and lemon juice. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the diced apples to the yogurt mixture and toss gently to coat all the apple pieces evenly.
Stir in the chopped walnuts (or pecans), raisins (or dried cranberries), and cinnamon, if using. Mix until evenly distributed throughout the salad.
Taste the salad and adjust sweetness by adding more honey, if needed. You can also add a touch more lemon juice for extra tanginess.
Transfer the Yogurt Apple Salad to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, for a pop of color and aroma.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. This salad is best enjoyed fresh.
