A refreshing and vibrant salad combining the sweetness of fruits with a creamy dressing, perfect for any occasion.
In a small bowl, combine the plain yogurt and light mayonnaise until smooth.
Using light mayonnaise reduces the calorie content without compromising the creamy texture.
Chop the crisp apples into bite-sized pieces and toss them with the fresh lemon juice in a large mixing bowl.
Tossing the apples in lemon juice prevents them from browning and adds a tangy flavor.
Add the dried sweetened cranberries, red seedless grapes, toasted walnuts, and chopped crunchy celery to the bowl with the apples.
Ensure the walnuts are toasted for a richer flavor and crunch.
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to coat evenly.
Mix gently to avoid crushing the fruits.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Chilling enhances the flavor and ensures a refreshing taste.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with a few extra cranberries or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for presentation.
A beautiful garnish makes the dish more appealing and appetizing.
