A refreshing and delicious Apple Salad combining crisp apples, juicy red grapes, crunchy pecans, and chewy dried cranberries, all tossed in a creamy, tangy Greek yogurt dressing sweetened with honey. Perfect as a light snack, side dish, or a healthy dessert option.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Salad:

  • 2 large apples, diced
  • 1 cup red grapes, halved
  • ½ cup pecans, chopped
  • ½ cup dried cranberries

For the Dressing:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salad Ingredients: Wash and prep the apples by dicing them into bite-sized pieces. Halve the red grapes and chop the pecans. Optionally, soak the dried cranberries in warm water for 5-10 minutes to soften them.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until the dressing is smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or lemon juice if desired.
  3. Assemble the Salad: Combine the diced apples, halved grapes, chopped pecans, and dried cranberries in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the fruit and nuts, then gently toss to coat everything evenly.
  4. Chill and Serve: Serve the salad immediately for a fresh taste or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled for the best refreshing experience.

Notes

  • Soaking dried cranberries is optional but softens their texture.
  • Adjust honey and lemon juice in the dressing to balance sweetness and acidity to your preference.
  • This salad is best served chilled for enhanced flavor.
  • Use crisp, fresh apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best texture and sweetness.
