Apple and Celery Salad with Walnuts and Yogurt Recipe
This is a French-style salad with celery and apple, light and crunchy, often served as a starter or a side dish to meat. It’s a bit like the American Waldorf salad, but simpler and less sweet. Perfect for a quick work lunch or a light dinner.

Ingredients
- celery stalks light green, firm - 4 stalks
- apple crisp, preferably slightly tart - 2 pieces
- walnuts roughly chopped - 40 g
- raisins optional, for sweetness - 30 g
- thick plain yogurt - 120 g
- mayonnaise - 1 tablespoon
- lemon juice freshly squeezed - 2 tablespoons
- honey - 1 teaspoon
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Main Ingredient:
celery stalks
Preparation
- Wash the celery, trim the ends and remove any tough fibrous edges if needed. Slice the stalks into thin pieces.
- Wash the apples, cut into quarters and remove the cores. Cut into thin matchsticks or small cubes. Immediately drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice so they don’t brown, and mix.
- In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, mayonnaise, remaining lemon juice, honey, a pinch of salt and pepper until the dressing is smooth.
- Roughly chop the walnuts. If you have a moment, toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until fragrant.
- In a large bowl, combine the celery, apples, raisins and most of the walnuts (reserve a little for sprinkling on top).
- Add the yogurt dressing and mix thoroughly so all the ingredients are lightly coated but not swimming in dressing.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper or lemon juice if needed.
- Before serving, sprinkle the top with the remaining walnuts. You can chill the salad in the fridge for 20–30 minutes so the flavors meld better.
