Ingredients

Scale

For the Salad:

  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 2 ribs celery, thinly sliced

For the Dressing:

  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the lemon-coated apples, celery slices, halved grapes, chopped pecans, and dried cranberries into the bowl. Stir gently until all ingredients are uniformly coated with the dressing.
  4. Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance flavor melding.

Notes

  • For the apples, Honeycrisp variety is recommended for its sweet-tart flavor and crisp texture.
