An Apple and Grape Salad made with these ingredients is a refreshing, naturally sweet dish that’s both wholesome and satisfying. Crisp red apples and juicy grapes provide fiber, antioxidants, and a burst of fresh flavor, while a splash of lemon juice keeps the fruit bright and vibrant. A touch of sugar enhances the natural sweetness, and creamy plain yogurt adds protein and a smooth, tangy balance. Chopped walnuts (optional) bring a pleasant crunch along with heart-healthy fats. This simple combination makes a light dessert, a nutritious snack, or a colorful side dish that’s easy to prepare and perfect for any time of year.
