Ingredients

  • 2 apples (I used Honeycrisp) chopped
  • 2 sticks celery chopped small
  • 1 cup red seedless grapes cut into halves
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice + zest of 1/2 lemon
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the dressing ingredients (mayo, sugar, lemon juice and zest) to a small bowl and stir together. Set aside.
  • Prep the remaining ingredients and add them to a salad bowl as you go along.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss. Give it a taste and season with salt & pepper as needed (I'm generous with both).

Notes

  • If you're eating it as a main course without much else, it'll serve 2. Or 4-6 as a side. 
  • This salad is pretty flexible. Feel free to add more/less of an ingredient to suit your preferences.
  • If you don't own a zester, you can leave out the lemon zest, but it does add a nice pop of freshness.
