Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash all your produce thoroughly. Peel cucumbers if desired, then slice thinly. Slice apples into thin wedges, discarding the core. Chop celery into small pieces and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In the same bowl, combine sliced cucumbers, apples, and celery. Add nuts if using. Toss gently to mix without bruising.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, optional mayonnaise, honey or maple syrup, apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice), and Dijon mustard until smooth.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently to coat.
  5. Garnish with chopped herbs. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  6. Before serving, gently toss again. Spoon into serving dishes and enjoy.

For best texture, use fresh ingredients and enjoy immediately after chilling. This salad holds well in the fridge for up to 2 days but may soften over time.
