Method

  1. 1

    Toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 3 minutes, shaking often, until they smell nutty. Tip onto a plate to cool.

    3 min
  2. 2

    Put the chopped apple in a large bowl with the lemon juice and toss straight away so it stays pale.

  3. 3

    Add the celery, grapes and most of the walnuts.

  4. 4

    Stir the mayonnaise, yoghurt and pepper together in a small bowl. Fold the dressing through the apple mixture until everything is lightly coated.

  5. 5

    Arrange the lettuce leaves on plates or in a wide bowl and spoon the salad on top.

  6. 6

    Scatter over the remaining walnuts. Serve straight away, or cover and keep in the fridge for up to 2 hours.
