This Apple Walnut Salad is a deliciously crisp and refreshing salad made with 4 types of apples, walnuts, and a honey citrus glaze.
This traditional salad is a real crowd-pleaser. Made with four different types of apples: Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, and Golden Delicious. Toss in some walnuts, add the glaze and you have the most perfect salad for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even a snack.
We love this version of apple salad. After you make this, be sure try our other favorites as well, like this Healthy Apply Candy Salad, Fuji Apple Chicken Salad, and Cranberry Poppyseed Apple Salad.
If you’re looking for another traditional fruit salad, give these a try: Kiwi Berry Fruit Salad, Lemon Poppy Seed Fruit Salad, and Kiwi Berry Fruit Salad.
I love making simple salads that are wholesome for my kids. Whether it is for a light lunch or a side to a protein for dinner, I always find simple salads can be a real winner. And if my kids are getting their fruits or veggies without anyone shedding tears, well then it is a huge win for this mom.
My kids love apples! Madden loves Granny Smith, Jersey loves Red Delicious and the rest of the kids are just like me they for the mother of all apples and the most pricey apple Honeycrisp.
After making my Mango Berry Salad, I knew that the orange glaze that I put on that salad would go just perfect with some apples. So that is what inspired this salad.
The only thing with this salad is that you can’t prepare it too much in advance, because will start to brown and soften after a bit, but don’t worry that takes some time. But this salad is best served when prepared. So if taking this to a dinner or potluck, then just make right before you leave. The perk about this salad – it takes very little time, literally less than 20 minutes, took me about 10 using my apple slicer.
I can guarantee that this Apple Walnut Salad will be a weekly salad made in our house this summer. Perfect to take to the pool as a refreshing snack. So while I am still praying for some rain for our dry (well drier than normal) Colorado landscape, I am looking forward to the warm weather, days at the park and grill out with family and friends. And you can bet that this salad will be with us at many of those events and occasions.
Enjoy friends. XOXO San

Thank you for this recipe…looks yummy. I was shocked though when I saw the nutritional values!
Are they correct?!
It looks like the serving size wasn’t put in so that number was for the entire batch! This usually feeds 8-10, so I changed it to reflect that. Enjoy!
