It is perfect for a quick lunch, side dish or potluck. The balance of sweet apples, crisp celery and toasted nuts creates a refreshing and satisfying bite. Toss it all together in 15 minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. It is simple, light and packed with flavor; this is a salad you\u2019ll want to make again and again.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Apple Salad<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Apples:<\/strong> Choose tart Granny Smith or Sweet Gala to balance flavors and texture. Cube the apples.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon juice:<\/strong> The acid in lemon juice prevents the apples from browning, adding a bright and zesty flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chopped celery:<\/strong> Celery adds a crisp and refreshing bite that contrasts with the sweetness of the apples.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Miniature marshmallows:<\/strong> These candies are soft and sweet and bring a fun texture, though they can be skipped.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mayonnaise:<\/strong> Fat-free mayo lightly coats the ingredients, giving the salad a creamy consistency without being too heavy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chopped pecans or walnuts:<\/strong> Nuts add a rich crunch that pairs well with the other ingredients. Toasting the nuts beforehand brings out even more flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prep the apples<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2071118\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Apple-Salad_TOHD24_33852_ChristineMa_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Prep the apples\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Toss the cubed apples with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-juice-lemons-the-easy-way\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-juice-lemons-the-easy-way\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">lemon juice<\/a> in a large bowl.
