With fiber-rich fruit, light dressing and crunchy walnuts, this is a great side dish or snack. Try it with low-fat granola. —Kathy Armstrong, Post Falls, Idaho

In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, whipped topping and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Add apples and cranberries; toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving. Sprinkle with walnuts and remaining 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon before serving.

This is a delicious (slightly more healthy) snack/dessert.  When making this, we did follow the recipe for the most part - only substituting cream cheese for the yogurt.  It turned out great!

Awful sweet, so I added some mayo, but good.

I'm not big on apples and my fiance hates salads, but we both absolutely love this. He begs me to make is constantly.

We love this salad! We use what ever apples we have in the fridge and leave out the craisins and add grapes. You can really play around with this! Thanks for a great recipe!

We loved it!!  I used sunflower seeds instead of the nuts

Left out the cranberries, and substituted whatever yogurt I had on hand. Great healthy dessert!

My entire family loved this.  My daughter made it for us. That made it extra special.  I'm going to try it with pecans next time.  I loved the cranberries.

We don't like 'fake' whipped cream, didn't have any, so I made with all yogurt (2%) instead.  More a light dessert than a salad for our tastes but very tasty and I'll be making it again.  Excellent for a healthy breakfast dish, too!

Light, but filling. I used pecans instead of walnuts. My 3 year old, loved it. Definitely something we'll be making regularly-- its a hit!

So good even my friend's 4-year old called it "delightful".  Love the extra flavor from the cinnamon and the fact that there's no mayo.

I have made this recipe many times. I followed the recipe exactly several times & I've also modified it by omiting the whipped topping & using additional yogurt & whatever apples we have on hand. I think it's delicious both ways & has become a new favorite for our lunches!

I made this several times and everybody raves about it.  I don't like cranberries, so I substitute grapes.

Absolutely will be making this salad again.I took this salad to work it was a big hit.

Added additional sweetener.  My brother-in-law asked to take some home.

Really good and really easy .... my favorite words to describe a recipe!!

Delicious!!!! Very light with lots of flavoring.

Love this salad!  So tasty and refreshing.  Definitely a keeper!

Does anyone have an idea what to use instead of Yogurt ? Neither me or my husband can tolerate it. Sounds good. but....

So easy to make and really, really good!!

i didn't have cranberries, but i had blueberries. This is so delicious i can't believe it's healthy

I omitted the whipped topping and just added more of the yogurt which wasn't sugar-free just all natural. It was still great and sweet. Even my husband who doesn't care for apples loved it.

This made a huge hit with my family. The mixed flavors are wonderful, but I did back off a little on the cinnamon. Made it while we were on vacation and it was loved by all.
