SUPER EASY APPLE SALAD WITH CRANBERRIES
HOW TO MAKE APPLE SALAD
- apples (We like honeycrisp or fuji apples best.)
- toasted almonds (You can buy them toasted, or toast your own.)
- craisins (or raisins)
- vanilla yogurt (You can substitute greek yogurt if you prefer.)
After chopping the apples and almonds, all you have to do is stir all the ingredients together in a large bowl. That’s it! Serve immediately or chill.
This apple fruit salad is best served within a few hours. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for about a day, but the apples will start to turn brown.
VARIATIONS:
- We like this apple salad recipe best with dried cranberries, but you can use raisins if you prefer. I think golden raisins would be tasty.
- For extra sweetness (and kid appeal), stir in some mini marshmallows.
- Feel free to try a different flavor of yogurt in place of vanilla. You could even use plain yogurt and add a bit of honey, sugar, or brown sugar.
- Instead of the red apples, you can use green apples, or a combination of both.
- Try adding some halved grapes with the apples.
- Stir in some sliced celery.

My kids definitely thought the idea of adding in mini marshmallows was genius, haha! I even had them help me put this salad together. So easy!
Marshmallows definitely make it more appealing to even the pickiest of kids!
This is a fun & yummy way to eat all things healthy! I added grapes to ours. We loved all the different textures & flavors.
I still haven’t tried it with grapes, so I need to do that!
It’s so funny that I saw this on Foodgawker. I just made this about an hour ago for guests that will be staying with us over the weekend! It really is a tasty (and super easy) fruit salad.
So glad that you liked it! Hope your guests enjoy it as well. š
