Crisp Granny Smith apples, crunchy celery, sweet halved grapes, and toasted walnuts come together in this crowd-pleasing take on the classic. Toasting the walnuts first brings out a deep, nutty flavor that plays beautifully against the tart apple and juicy grapes, while a squeeze of fresh lemon juice keeps everything bright and prevents browning. The creamy dressing coats every bite evenly, so you get a little bit of tang, a little bit of sweetness, and plenty of crunch in each forkful. Served over a crisp butter lettuce leaf and finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, it looks as good as it tastes. This one chills up quickly and holds well, making it an easy make-ahead option. It's a reliable, refreshing dish to add to your vegan recipe rotation.

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden, about 4–5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, let cool for 5 minutes, then roughly chop.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed apples with 1 tbsp lemon juice until evenly coated. This keeps the apple pieces from browning while you prepare the rest of the salad.
