Apple Salad with Honeycrisp Apples and Creamy Dressing

• In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and brown sugar until smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved. The dressing should be creamy with a hint of sweetness to balance the tart lemon juice.

3. Combine Ingredients:

• Add the dressed apples to the bowl with the dressing. Follow with the sliced celery, halved grapes, chopped pecans, and dried cranberries.

• Gently mix all the ingredients, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the dressing without over-mixing to maintain the texture of the ingredients.

4. Chill the Salad:

• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and enhances the salad’s refreshing taste.

5. Serve:

• After chilling, give the salad a gentle stir to redistribute the dressing and ingredients. Serve chilled as a delightful side dish or a light main course.
