Crisp apples, crunchy nuts, and sweet grapes tossed in a creamy dressing for a vibrant, satisfying dish.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Produce

01 - 4 large Honeycrisp apples, cubed
02 - 1 lemon, juiced
03 - 2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
04 - 1 cup seedless red grapes, halved

→ Dressing

05 - 80 millilitres mayonnaise

→ Mix-ins

07 - 65 grams chopped pecans
08 - 60 grams dried cranberries

# How to Prepare:

01 - Combine the cubed apples with freshly squeezed lemon juice in a large bowl and toss gently to evenly coat the fruit and prevent discoloration.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
03 - Add the celery, grapes, chopped pecans, and dried cranberries to the apples. Pour the dressing over the mixture and stir gently until all components are thoroughly coated.
04 - Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the salad to become crisp and refreshing.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For balanced texture, use both crisp apple varieties for crunch and tender grapes for contrast.
02 - To maintain vibrant color, always mix apples with citrus juice immediately after cutting.
03 - For best texture, dress the salad shortly before serving to ensure freshness.
04 - Variations include the addition of cooked chicken, blue cheese, or alternative nuts.
