Fast Apple, Celery & Walnut Salad

This salad is for moments when you need something fresh and filling right now. Crisp fruit, crunchy nuts, and a quick dressing come together in minutes, with no prep drama and no waiting.

Ingredients

• Crisp apples, cut into bite-sized pieces
• Celery stalks, thinly sliced
• Walnuts, roughly chopped
• Plain yogurt or light mayonnaise
• Lemon juice
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Start with the apples. Cut them first and place straight into a bowl.
2. Sprinkle with a little lemon juice and toss quickly to keep them bright.
3. Add celery and walnuts.
4. Spoon in yogurt or mayonnaise — just enough to lightly coat everything.
5. Season with salt and black pepper.
6. Mix gently and taste. Adjust lemon or seasoning if needed.
7. Serve immediately while everything stays crisp.

Tips:

• Keep the dressing light; this salad works best when it’s not heavy.
• Cut everything just before serving — speed keeps it fresh.
• If making ahead, store dressing separately and mix at the last minute.
