Servings: 4 servings
- 3 tablespoons greek yogurt (dairy or dairy-free)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 green apples diced
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup grapes halved
- 1 cup whole walnuts or pecans toasted and roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Optional: butter lettuce leaves for serving
Make dressing. In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and honey. Set aside.
Toss it all together. In a large bowl, add the green apples, celery, grapes, walnuts, parsley, salt, and mayo dressing. Stir it all together until everything is evenly coated.
- Make sure that the toasted nuts have fully cooled before you add them to the salad. Otherwise they'll melt the yogurt-based dressing.
- You can use any tart and crisp apple in this recipe, I just prefer Granny Smith's.
