Ingredients

Scale

Fruits and Nuts

  • 2 large apples
  • 1 cup grapes
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1/4 cup raisins

Vegetables

  • 1/4 cup celery

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Begin by collecting all the required ingredients for the apple salad to ensure a smooth preparation process.
  2. Wash Apples: Thoroughly wash the apples under cool running water to remove any dirt or wax coating.
  3. Prepare Apples: Core the apples and cut them into small, bite-sized cubes. Place the apple pieces into a large mixing bowl.
  4. Prepare Grapes: Rinse the grapes under water, dry them with a clean towel, then slice them in half and add to the bowl with the apples.
  5. Chop Walnuts: Chop the walnuts into small pieces using a knife or lightly crush them with a pestle and add to the bowl with the fruit.
  6. Add Raisins: Add the raisins to the bowl, ensuring even distribution with the other ingredients.
  7. Prepare Celery: Wash celery stalks, cut off the ends, slice into thin pieces, and add to the bowl.
  8. Prepare Yogurt Dressing: In a separate small bowl, scoop the Greek yogurt.
  9. Mix Honey and Yogurt: Add honey to the Greek yogurt and stir until smooth and combined.
  10. Add Lemon and Cinnamon: Squeeze lemon juice into the yogurt mixture, removing any seeds, then stir in the cinnamon to blend flavors evenly.
  11. Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the yogurt dressing over the fruit and nut mixture in the large bowl.
  12. Toss Salad: Gently toss all ingredients using a spoon or spatula, making sure the dressing coats all components evenly.
  13. Adjust Flavor: Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or increase acidity with extra lemon juice as desired.
  14. Chill: Place the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow flavors to meld together.
  15. Serve: Serve the apple salad chilled for a refreshing and healthy treat.

Notes

  • This salad is best served chilled to enhance its refreshing flavors.
  • You can substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds for a different nutty flavor.
  • For a vegan option, replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and honey with maple syrup.
  • Adjust the cinnamon quantity to taste; it’s optional but adds a nice warmth to the dressing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
