Description

A bright and refreshing apple salad mixed with grapes, toasted pecans, and dried cranberries, perfect for any gathering or meal.


Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized apples, cored and chopped (mix of sweet and tart)
  • 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
  • 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped and toasted
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Core and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces. Leave the skin on if desired.
  2. Wash the grapes and slice them in half. Place chopped apples and halved grapes in a mixing bowl.
  3. Toast the pecans in a pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove the toasted pecans from heat and let them cool, then add them to the bowl with apples and grapes, along with dried cranberries.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, apple cider vinegar, and cinnamon until smooth.
  6. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss until evenly coated.
  7. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve cold or at room temperature, garnishing with additional pecans or cranberries if desired.

Notes

Can be made ahead of time; just keep the dressing separate until serving. Pairs well with grilled chicken or as part of a brunch spread.
