- 1 cup Red seedless grapes
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 1 cup Dairy-free mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 large Romaine lettuce leaves
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the apples. Core the Granny Smith and red apples, then cut them into bite-sized cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Trim and chop the celery stalks into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the apples.
Step 3
Halve the grapes and add them to the salad mixture for a burst of sweetness.
Step 4
Roughly chop the walnuts and toast them lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes to enhance their flavor, allowing them to cool before adding to the salad.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the dairy-free mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and gently toss until all the ingredients are well-coated, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
Step 7
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Lay them out on a serving platter or individual plates.
Step 8
Spoon the dressed salad mixture over the lettuce leaves, adding a touch of contrast and freshness.
Step 9
Serve immediately, or refrigerate the salad for one hour to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
