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

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
