Apple Salad with Honeycrisp Apples, Celery, Grapes, Pecans, and Dried Cranberries

Ingredients:

2 large Honeycrisp apples, cored and diced
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
1 cup red or green grapes, halved
1/2 cup pecans, chopped and toasted
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise for a creamier texture)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Prepare the Ingredients:

Core and dice the Honeycrisp apples into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with the lemon juice in a large bowl to prevent browning.
Thinly slice the celery and halve the grapes. Add them to the bowl with the apples.
Toast the Pecans:

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped pecans for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Mix the Dressing:

In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), honey, salt, and pepper. Adjust sweetness or seasoning to your taste.

Assemble the Salad:

Pour the dressing over the apple mixture. Add the dried cranberries and toasted pecans. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Serve:

Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and garnish with a few extra pecans or cranberries for presentation. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
