Instructions

  1. Make dressing. In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and honey. Set aside.
  2. 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.

Notes

  • This salad tastes best fresh. But if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
  • Dice the fruits (except the apples), herbs, and toasted nuts, and whisk the dressing a day in advance. Store everything in separate containers in the fridge.
  • Make this 2 to 3 hours in advance before your holiday dinner. But I wouldn’t make it any earlier for the best texture.
  • make sure to check out my customization tips above!
  • 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. 
  • To Store: This salad tastes best fresh. But if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
  • Make-Ahead Tip #1: Dice the fruits (except the apples), herbs, and toasted nuts, and whisk the dressing a day in advance. Store everything in separate containers in the fridge.
  • Make-Ahead Tip #2: Make this 2 to 3 hours in advance before your holiday dinner. But I wouldn’t make it any earlier for the best texture.
  • If you want to swap any of the ingredients, make sure to check out my customization tips above!
