Step 1
Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the walnuts and toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples, grapes, celery, and toasted walnuts. Gently fold in the dressing until everything is evenly coated.
