Ingredients
- 2 apples
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 rib celery
- 1 Tbsp raisins
- 1 Tbsp roasted walnuts
For the Yogurt Dressing
- 4 Tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise (you can make my recipe for homemade Japanese mayo)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp milk
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. If your walnuts are not roasted, put them in a frying pan (without oil) and toast on medium heat until fragrant.
- In a large bowl, whisk all the ingredients for the Yogurt Dressing: 4 Tbsp Greek yogurt, 1 Tbsp Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp milk, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, Diamond Crystal kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Cut 1 rib celery diagonally into thin slices. Add it to the dressing.
- Cut 2 apples into quarters and then remove the core. Then, cut each quarter into slices ¼ inch (cm) thick. Cut the slices in half crosswise.
- Add the apple slices and 1 Tbsp lemon juice to another bowl and toss all together. This will prevent the apples from turning brown.
- Transfer the apples, leaving the lemon juice behind, to the salad. Then, add 1 Tbsp raisins and 1 Tbsp roasted walnuts. Toss all together to coat with the dressing. You can chill the salad until ready to serve, or serve immediately.
