Ingredients

1 red apple
½ cup chopped walnut kernels
½ cup thinly sliced celery
½ cup of red grapes, cut in half
2-3 Tbsp mayonnaise
1Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt, pepper, lettuce leaves

Instructions

Mix the mayonnaise with the lemon juice in a bowl.
Core the apple then cut into half then into bite-sizes chunks.
Add the apple, grapes, celery and walnut to the mayonnaise, season to taste and toss well.
Arrange the lettuce leaves on a plate or in a bowl, then fill these with the salad.

Tips

The ideal lettuce is romaine lettuce, because it's crispy and they make nice little parcels! Iceberg lettuce works well too.
The mayonnaise should be of high quality!
