# Ingredients:
01 -
1 red apple, cut into matchstick pieces
02 -
1 green apple, cut into matchstick pieces
03 -
2 tablespoons lemon juice
04 -
2 cups matchstick carrots
05 -
¼ cup yellow onion, finely diced
06 -
⅓ cup dried cranberries, sweetened
07 -
½ cup vanilla yogurt
08 -
¼ cup mayonnaise
09 -
1 tablespoon sugar
10 -
¼ teaspoon salt
11 -
¼ teaspoon black pepper
12 -
1 cup canned mandarin segments, drained
# Directions:
01 -
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.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, add the matchstick carrots, diced onion, and dried cranberries.
03 -
After the apples have soaked in lemon juice, add them to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.
04 -
Add the vanilla yogurt, mayonnaise, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir everything together until well combined and evenly coated.
05 -
Gently fold in the drained mandarin segments to avoid breaking them up too much.
06 -
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
