Ingredients

• 2 medium red apple
• 1 medium green apple
• 1.5 cups red seedless grapes
• 1 cup celery
• 0.5 cup walnuts
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 leaves butter lettuce

Directions

Step 1

Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 2

Wash the apples thoroughly. Dice the red and green apples into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for color and texture. Place the apple pieces in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the red seedless grapes to the bowl, halving them if they are large.

Step 4

Slice the celery into thin, bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the apples and grapes.

Step 5

Roughly chop the toasted walnuts and add them to the fruit mixture.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss everything together until evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the fruit.

Step 8

Line a serving platter or individual plates with butter lettuce leaves, and spoon the Waldorf fruit salad onto the leaves for serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
