Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium apples about 2 cups, diced
  • 1 cup grapes halved
  • ½ cup celery chopped
  • ¼ cup pecans chopped
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Method
 

  1. Start by washing the apples, grapes, and celery thoroughly. Dice the apples into bite-sized cubes, slice the grapes in half, and chop the celery into small pieces. Try to keep everything evenly sized so each bite has a balanced mix of textures.
  2. In a separate small bowl, add the Greek yogurt and honey. Stir well until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed, depending on how sweet your apples and grapes are.
  3. Transfer the chopped apples, grapes, and celery into a large mixing bowl. Gently toss them together so the ingredients are evenly distributed before adding anything else.
  4. Sprinkle in the chopped pecans and dried cranberries over the fruit mixture. This adds both crunch and a slightly sweet, tangy contrast to the salad.
  5. Pour the prepared yogurt dressing over the bowl. Using a spoon or spatula, gently fold everything together until all the ingredients are lightly coated. Be careful not to overmix, so the fruit stays fresh and intact.
  6. Place the salad in the refrigerator for about 10–15 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors blend together and gives the salad a refreshing, chilled texture. Give it a quick stir before serving and enjoy.
