A classic and refreshing salad combining crisp apples, grapes, celery, and crunchy walnuts, dressed in a creamy mixture.

Ingredients

Fruits and Vegetables

  • 2 large apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Red Delicious), diced
  • 1 cup red or green grapes, halved
  • 1 cup celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
  • ½ cup raisins (optional)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional for sweetness)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions 

  • Wash apples, grapes, and celery thoroughly. Toss apple cubes with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Toast walnuts in a pan over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until fragrant, then let cool and chop.
  • In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  • Combine apples, grapes, celery, and raisins in a large bowl. Pour dressing over and gently fold to coat.
  • Add toasted walnuts last to keep them crunchy. Chill for 15–30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, serve over crisp lettuce leaves.
