A delightful and refreshing salad that combines the sweetness of fruits with a hint of warmth from cinnamon, perfect for gatherings.
Ingredients
- 3 medium apples, diced
- 2 cups red grapes, halved
- 1 cup pecans or walnuts, toasted and chopped
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Toast pecans or walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool and chop.
- Wash and dice apples, leaving the skin on, and halve the grapes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine apples and grapes, adding lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.

- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a chilled option, garnishing with extra cinnamon and pecans if desired.
Notes
For best flavor, use ripe fruits. Adjust sweetness with more honey if desired. Can be made ahead by prepping ingredients but combine with dressing just before serving.
