Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Feel free to customize the fruits in this salad based on your preferences. However, we highly recommend including the crisp lettuce and sweet Shine Muscat grapes for the best texture and flavor!
Step 2
First, wash the apple and persimmon, remove their cores, and dice them into bite-sized cubes. Wash the Shine Muscat grapes and cut them in half. Place the diced apple, persimmon, halved grapes, and fresh lettuce into a large bowl. Also, prepare your mixed nuts and the hard-boiled egg.
Step 3
☆ Making the Delicious Salad Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine 1 container of plain Greek yogurt with 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk. Just by looking at these ingredients, you know this dressing is going to be amazing! Whisk everything together until smooth and set aside.
Step 4
Now, all the components for your salad are ready: the crisp lettuce, the sweet fruits, and the flavorful dressing.
Step 5
Add the washed and dried lettuce, prepared fruits, and mixed nuts to the bowl containing the grapes. Drizzle your prepared Greek yogurt dressing over the ingredients. Gently toss everything together until all components are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 6
Transfer the beautifully tossed salad to your serving plate.
Step 7
For a final flourish, take the yolk of the hard-boiled egg and grate it finely over the salad using a sieve. This will create a visually appealing sprinkle, resembling delicate snowflakes, that adds an inviting touch.
Step 8
The combination of the crisp lettuce and refreshing, sweet fruits works wonderfully with the creamy and tangy Greek yogurt dressing, creating a harmonious and delightful taste experience. Enjoy this healthy and delicious salad!
