Ingredients
75 g Walnuts, roughly chopped
3 Apples, cored and chopped into 2 cm cubes
1/2 Lemon, juice only
200 g Red grapes, halved
2 Celery sticks, sliced into 1 cm pieces
50 g Greek yoghurt
50 g Mayonnaise
Sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Toast the walnuts in a small frying pan over low heat for 5–6 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
- Core and chop the apples into 2 cm cubes, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the lemon juice to the apples and toss to coat to prevent browning.
- Add the halved grapes, sliced celery, Greek yoghurt, and mayonnaise to the bowl.
- Mix everything together until well coated in the dressing.
- Fold in the toasted walnuts, reserving a few for garnish.
- Season with sea salt and adjust with more lemon juice if desired.
- Garnish with extra walnuts and serve immediately or chill before serving.
Notes
Use crisp apples like Granny Smith, Pink Lady, or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
Swap walnuts for pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts if preferred.
Add blue cheese, feta, or mixed greens for a richer, more colorful salad.
For a lighter version, use only Greek yoghurt instead of yoghurt and mayonnaise.
Keep chopped ingredients and dressing separate if preparing in advance; combine just before serving.
