- 2 medium apples
- 1 cup seedless grapes
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Wash the apples thoroughly, core them, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Wash the grapes, pat them dry, and slice them in half.
- Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant, then chop roughly.
