Apple Grape Salad is a light, refreshing salad. It's full of apples, grapes, celery and walnuts. It makes a delicious appetizer, salad or dessert. It's good to serve at a party. If there are any leftovers, they make a nice lunch.
This salad is similar to a Waldorf salad. A Waldorf salad uses a mayonnaise dressing. The Apple Grape Salad uses a vanilla glaze. Delicious!
The Apple Grape Salad does take a good bit of peeling and chopping, but it is worth it. In order to keep the apples from turning brown before they are coated with the vanilla glaze, I put them in a lemon juice and water mixture.
This recipe is a dairy-free version. If you are not concerned with being dairy-free, you can replace the vegan butter with butter.
I hope you enjoy!
