Ingredients

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 3 medium Apples (preferably red or green, for a balance of sweetness and tartness)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch Ground nutmeg
• 1 quarter cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 2 tablespoons Raisins or dried cranberries
• 2 sprigs Fresh mint (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

Wash the apples thoroughly. Core and dice them into bite-sized pieces. Leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrition.

Step 3

Place the diced apples in a large bowl. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg over the apples, tossing gently to coat the pieces evenly.

Step 4

Add the spiced apples to the bowl of yogurt mixture and stir to combine, ensuring the apples are fully coated.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and raisins (or dried cranberries) to add crunch and sweetness.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Before serving, garnish with fresh mint sprigs for a pop of color and added freshness, if desired.

Step 8

Serve chilled as a light dessert or a refreshing side dish.
