Ingredients
Instructions
Dice the apples into bite-sized pieces. Toss them immediately with a pinch of sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, celery, halved grapes, and toasted nuts. Gently mix to combine without crushing the fruit.
In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold in the mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
Carefully fold the dressing into the apple mixture until everything is evenly coated. Season with kosher salt and taste. Adjust sweetness or tang as needed.
Cover and chill for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, to let the flavors meld.
Serve chilled, either on its own or over crisp lettuce leaves for a more substantial presentation.
