Prep the apples.

2.Place diced apples in a large mixing bowl immediately and toss with a few drops of lemon juice to prevent browning.

3.Add both to the bowl with the apples.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Toast walnuts in a dry pan until fragrant, about 2 minutes, then cool completely for maximum crunch.
2
Toss diced apples with a splash of lemon juice immediately to prevent oxidation and browning.
3
Keep the apple skin on for added color, texture, and fiber — no need to peel.
4
Use a rubber spatula and fold the dressing gently to avoid bruising the tender fruit.
5
This salad is best served immediately; if making ahead, add walnuts just before serving.
6
Chill the grapes and apples beforehand for an extra-crisp, refreshing salad.

Vegan

Swap the Greek yogurt for a thick plant-based yogurt (like coconut or soy) and use maple syrup or agave instead of honey — all the creamy tang, none of the dairy.
