Instructions

Wash and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces. Toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Thinly slice the celery and halve the grapes.
In a large bowl, combine the apples, celery, grapes, and walnuts.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, and a bit more lemon juice if desired.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve on a bed of lettuce if desired.

Notes

Use Greek yogurt for a lighter version with a tangy flavor.Toss apples with lemon juice immediately after cutting to reduce browning.Toasted walnuts add more flavor but raw works fine too.Add cooked chicken to make it a complete meal.Best served chilled and within 1–2 days of making.
