Directions
Tos the apples with lemon juice in a big bowl to keep them from browning. Then, mix in the pecans, mayonnaise, raisins, orange zest, vanilla extract, celery seed, salt, and stevia until everything is nicely combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for about half an hour to let the flavors come together and chill.
Serving Recommendations
Serve chilled as a side dish for grilled chicken or fish. It also pairs well with sandwiches or can be enjoyed on its own for a light lunch. Adding a few fresh greens like arugula can make it more vibrant.
Leftover Care Tips
Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best eaten within 1-2 days to keep the apples from browning and the celery crunchy. To prevent sogginess, toss the salad just before serving.
