A refreshing and wholesome Cinnamon Apple Grape Salad featuring crisp apples, juicy grapes, and toasted nuts all tossed in a sweet and warmly spiced honey-cinnamon dressing. Perfect as a light snack or a vibrant side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 3 medium apples, diced
  • 2 cups red grapes, halved

Nuts

  • 1 cup pecans or walnuts, toasted and chopped

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Toast Nuts: Toast the pecans or walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool, then roughly chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Prepare Fruit: Wash and dice the apples into bite-sized chunks, keeping the skin on for added nutrition and color. Halve the grapes lengthwise. Place both fruits in a large mixing bowl and toss with fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined. If honey is too thick, warm it slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to ease drizzling.
  4. Combine Everything: Pour the cinnamon-honey dressing over the fruit mixture. Add the toasted, chopped nuts and gently toss until the fruit is evenly coated with the dressing and nuts are well distributed.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the salad immediately to enjoy the freshest texture, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours if you prefer it chilled. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a few whole pecans for presentation.

Notes

  • For added crunch or variety, try using a mix of pecans and walnuts.
  • Use crisp apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best texture.
  • Refrigerate leftovers promptly and consume within 24 hours for freshness.
  • Adjust honey quantity to taste for sweetness preference.
