Ingredients

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh lemon peel

Salad

  • 2 large Granny Smith apples, cut into 8 wedges, then cut crosswise into bite-size pieces (4 1/2 cups)
  • 2 large Gala apples, cut into 8 wedges, then cut crosswise into bite-size pieces (3 1/2 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 6 medium stalks celery with leaves
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted*

Steps

  • 1
    In small bowl, mix dressing ingredients until blended. Refrigerate until serving time.
  • 2
    Place apples in large bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice; toss until coated.
  • 3
    Remove leaves from celery; chop leaves into 1/2-inch pieces to measure 1/2 cup. Cut celery stalks diagonally into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices to measure 2 cups. Add to bowl with apples. Refrigerate until serving time.
  • 4
    Just before serving, toss apples and celery. Add dressing; toss until coated. Sprinkle with walnuts.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To grate the fresh lemon peel, use a Microplane® grater (similar to an old-fashioned wood rasp). It grates the peel evenly but avoids scraping the underlying pith.
  • tip 2
    For added flavor, substitute flavored yogurt, such as orange or lemon, for the plain.
