Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by washing and drying your apples, celery, and lettuce thoroughly. Core and chop the apples into bite-sized cubes, then slice the celery into thin pieces.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, sliced celery, halved grapes, chopped walnuts, and dried cranberries. Gently toss these ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.
  3. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and honey until well combined and creamy. Adjust the flavors to your liking by tasting.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl and gently toss everything together until well-coated.
  5. Cover the salad bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for about 10-15 minutes.
  6. Once chilled, give the salad a gentle toss and serve in individual bowls or on a large platter.
