Steps
Prepare Ingredients
Wash the apples and celery stalks. Core the apples and cut them into small cubes. Slice the celery stalks thinly. Roughly chop the walnuts and halve the grapes.
Make the Dressing
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Combine and Serve
In a large bowl, gently combine the diced apples, sliced celery, chopped walnuts, and halved grapes. Pour the mayonnaise dressing over the mixture and mix thoroughly to coat all ingredients. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Extra Tips
► Toast the walnuts in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding them to the salad to enhance their flavor.
► If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the mayonnaise dressing.
► Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to be perfect.
