Crunchy Apple Salad Wrap

This crunchy apple salad wrap is inspired by a recipe my Mimi made for me recently. Her secret ingredient was instant pudding so I guess we can call mine the “lightened up but way less fun” version. 😉 I like to eat it in wrap form, but the apple salad makes for a great side dish on its own as well. Save it for the summer and whip up a big bowl to serve guests at a cookout or picnic!

Yield: 6-8 wraps / 4-5 cups of apple salad

Crunchy Apple Salad Wrap

Ingredients

4 apples*
1/2 cup grapes (halved)
1/2 cup plain yogurt (I use non-dairy Kite Hill, but you could use Greek or regular)
1/2 cup walnuts (chopped)
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 tbsp maple syrup
1-2 tbsp lemon juice (juice from one lemon)
Lettuce
Wraps
**

Instructions

Core and chop the apples. For wraps, I dice them into pretty small pieces. For salads I chop them them a little larger. Toss the apple pieces in a large mixing bowl with the lemon juice (this will prevent browning).
Stir the maple syrup into the yogurt.
Add all ingredients (except the lettuce and wraps) into the bowl with the apples and mix until thoroughly coated. As-is this salad makes for a great side dish. If you're eating it as a wrap...
Lightly toast a wrap and layer in lettuce and the apple salad. Roll up and enjoy!

Notes

*When I'm eating this as a side salad, I almost always go with 3 Fuji or Gala apples and then 1 Granny Smith. When I eat it in wrap form, sometimes I like softer apples though and will use Cortland or McIntosh even though they're not as delicious as Fuji/Gala (in my opinion). **You can get creative with what you put in your wrap. Sharp cheddar cheese, roasted chicken, tomatoes, etc.

This crunchy apple salad wrap is dairy-free and easily made in under 15 minutes.

As you can see above, I used dairy-free yogurt for this recipe, but Greek yogurt or regular plain yogurt work just the same. I also kept the crunchy apple salad wrap pretty simple but you can get creative with what you add in there. Sharp cheddar cheese, roasted chicken, tomatoes, etc.
