I liked this a lot, and it was very quick to make. I used only 1/3 cup of mayo, and I used the reduced-fat type. I think it was enough dressing, and it reduced the fat content of this salad quite a bit. Thanks for sharing!

One of my very favorites. My Mom Mom used to make this for me when I was little. I bet I make it once a month or so. I only use a speck of mayonnaise as the fruit makes some of it's own juice.

Wow! It's so easy to toss these simple ingredients together and the results are wonderful. I used fresh HoneyCrisp apples that we picked from a local orchard and served the salad on baby spinach greens. I think leftover cooked chicken would be nice in this salad. Next time I have some I'll make this salad again. Loved it! Thanx for suggesting this to me in the RR forum!
