Chef Larz I love all the ingredients in your recipe but sorry to say together they did not work to well for me. I used a red onion, omitted the sugar because my apple was pretty sweet and the dijon mustard. The grape texture didnt go to well with the celery and apple for me. I would have preferred either a savory crunchy salad or a sweet fruity salad, not the two combined. Made and reviewed for the Cookbook Forums Theirs, Yours & Mine photo tag game.
