Ingredients

• 3 pieces Granny Smith apples
• 2 pieces Red apples (e.g., Fuji or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 pieces Celery stalks
• 1 cup Walnuts
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and core the Granny Smith and red apples. Chop them into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Drizzle the apple pieces with the lemon juice to prevent browning. Toss gently to coat evenly.

Step 3

Thinly slice the celery stalks and add them to the bowl with the apples.

Step 4

Roughly chop the walnuts and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly, then add to the bowl.

Step 5

Add the dried cranberries to the salad mixture for a pop of sweetness.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and added freshness, if desired.

Step 9

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve the Hazel's Apple Salad cold as a side dish or as a light, refreshing main course.
