Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 2 cups diced tart apples (about 2 apples)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup grapes, halved
  • ½ cup toasted walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped

For the Dressing:

  • ½ cup whipping cream, whipped
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Add the diced apples to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with the sugar and lemon juice. Toss to coat. Add the celery, grapes, and nuts.
  2. In another bowl, whip the whipping cream until peaks form, then gently fold in the mayonnaise. Fold into the apple mixture and season with the kosher salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Chill for 1 hour or overnight.
  3. Serve by itself or on a lettuce leaf.

Notes

  • Instead of whipping cream, substitute 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or sour cream.
