Submitted by COOKGIRl

"I made this salad crunchier with the addition of toasted almonds. This is ideal for that someone who wants creamy but not made with globs of mayonnaise! Have fun with this recipe."

Good. I used Empire apples, freshly squeezed lemon juice, red seedless grapes, Balkan yogurt with some creamed honey, all dry pan toasted sliced blanched almonds, plus the celery rib, no mint out of preference.

Great fruit salad! My mint was not at its best so I didn't use any, otherwise made as directed. I used lemon yogurt and thought that was great with the other fruit flavors. I liked the crunch of the celery and almonds. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
