How to Make Autumn Apple Salad

  1. Wash and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces. To prevent browning, toss them with a squeeze of lemon juice.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples, grapes, celery, and walnuts.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and gently toss to combine.
  5. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Garnish with extra walnuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
