  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts toasted, if you’d like

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley optional
  • 1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • sprinkle of black pepper to taste
  • Butter or Bibb lettuce for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Toast walnuts: add walnuts into a skillet over medium heat and toast for 2-5 minutes or until fragrant, tossing occasionally. Remove from pan and let cool.
  • Make salad: In a large bowl combine diced apple, grapes, celery, walnuts, yogurt, lemon juice as well as raisins and parsley (if using). Taste and season with salt and add pepper if desired.
  • Serve: Serve salad over a bed of lettuce, if desired.
  • Storage: Salad will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

Notes

  • Vegan option: use a dairy-free yogurt like Culina coconut yogurt or a vegan mayonnaise.
  • Yogurt sub: You can use mayonnaise in place of yogurt or even do 1/4 cup yogurt and 1/4 cup mayo.
  • For a sweeter version: add 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey.
