Description
A refreshing apple salad combining sweet and savory elements, perfect for gatherings and weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 large Honeycrisp apples, cubed
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 ribs celery, thinly sliced
- 1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: In a large bowl, toss the cubed apples with lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
- Make the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and brown sugar until smooth.
- Combine ingredients: Add the prepared apples, sliced celery, halved grapes, chopped pecans, and dried cranberries to the bowl with the dressing. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Chill: Cover the salad bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to come together beautifully.
Notes
For best texture, choose crisp, firm apples. Add grapes and nuts just before serving to maintain their crunch.
