A classic and refreshing salad combining crisp apples, grapes, celery, and crunchy toasted walnuts, all coated in a creamy dressing.

  • 2 large apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Red Delicious), diced
  • 1 cup red or green grapes, halved
  • 1 cup celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup raisins (optional)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Nuts

  • 1 cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped

Lettuce (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  • Combine apples, grapes, celery, and raisins in a large bowl. Add dressing and gently fold. Top with toasted walnuts.
