Ingredients

• 3 medium crisp apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 large celery stalks
• 0.5 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
• 0.75 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1.5 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups mixed greens or lettuce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the apples and celery thoroughly. Core the apples and chop them into small, bite-sized cubes. Dice the celery into thin slices.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, celery, and walnuts.

Step 3

In a smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the apple mixture. Gently toss everything together to evenly coat the ingredients with the dressing.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 6

Cover and refrigerate the salad for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Before serving, arrange mixed greens or lettuce (if using) on a serving dish or bowl. Spoon the Scandinavian Apple Salad onto the greens for presentation and serve immediately.
