Salad:
- 3 large Honeycrisp apples, chopped
- 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
- 1 cup celery, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted if desired
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
Dressing:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples, halved grapes, sliced celery, pecans, and dried cranberries.
- Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend. Serve cold.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Notes
- This salad is great made ahead of time—just wait to add the pecans until right before serving to keep them crunchy.
- For extra sweetness, use a vanilla yogurt base.
