Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 6 medium-sized apples (a mix of sweet and tart, like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent browning)
Candy & Sweets
- 1 cup of Snickers candy bars, chopped (about 4-5 bars)
- 1 cup of mini marshmallows
Dressing
- 1 cup of whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup of vanilla yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt for added creaminess)
Optional
- 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Wash Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly under cold water and dry them well with a paper towel to remove any residues.
- Chop Apples: Core and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces, keeping the skin on if you prefer more texture and nutrients.
- Coat Apples with Lemon Juice: Place the chopped apples in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with lemon juice, and toss gently to coat and prevent browning.
- Chop Snickers: Unwrap the Snickers bars and chop them into small 1/2-inch pieces for even distribution in the salad.
- Set Aside Snickers: Keep the chopped Snickers in a small bowl until ready to mix to maintain their texture.
- Add Mini Marshmallows and Snickers: Add mini marshmallows and the chopped Snickers pieces to the bowl with the apples.
- Prepare Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine whipped topping and vanilla yogurt to form a creamy dressing.
- Mix Dressing into Salad: Gently fold the dressing into the apple, Snickers, and marshmallow mixture without overmixing to keep the salad light and airy.
- Add Nuts: If using, gently fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch and flavor.
- Cover and Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a serving dish and cover; refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
- Stir Before Serving: Give the salad a gentle stir before serving to redistribute ingredients evenly.
- Serve: Scoop the salad into individual bowls or serve on a large platter, optionally garnishing with extra chopped Snickers or nuts.
- Optional Garnish: Drizzle caramel sauce over the top for an extra sweet touch just before serving.
Notes
- Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for balanced flavor and texture.
- Lemon juice prevents the apples from browning and keeps the salad looking fresh.
- Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, but regular vanilla yogurt can be used as well.
- Chilling the salad for at least 1 hour improves flavor melding and texture.
- Walnuts or pecans can be substituted or omitted according to preference.
- The salad is best eaten within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
- Adding caramel sauce is optional but enhances the dessert-like quality.
