Ingredients
Scale
- 1 red apple, cut into matchstick pieces
- 1 green apple, cut into matchstick pieces
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cups matchstick carrots
- ¼ cup yellow onion, finely diced
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries, sweetened
- ½ cup vanilla yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup canned mandarin segments, drained
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Apples: Slice both the red and green apples into matchstick pieces. Place them in a bowl, pour the lemon juice over the apple pieces, and toss well to coat. Let the apples sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the lemon juice, which prevents browning.
- Step 2: Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the matchstick carrots, diced onion, and dried cranberries.
- Step 3: Add the Apples: After the apples have soaked in lemon juice, add them to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.
- Step 4: Make the Dressing: Add the vanilla yogurt, mayonnaise, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir everything together until well combined and evenly coated.
- Step 5: Finish with Mandarins: Gently fold in the drained mandarin segments to avoid breaking them up too much.
- Step 6: Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
