Apple, Carrot and Celery Salad - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream in this salad?

Yes! Greek yogurt works well as a lighter, protein-rich alternative to sour cream. For best results, use plain, unsweetened yogurt to maintain the intended flavor balance.

How long can I store this apple, carrot, and celery salad in the fridge?

This salad keeps well for up to 2 days when stored in an airtight container. Add a squeeze of lemon juice over the apples to prevent browning and maintain freshness.

Is this salad suitable for a low-carb diet?

You can reduce carbs by omitting sugar and using a sugar-free sweetener (like stevia) or simply relying on the natural sweetness of the apples and carrots. Full-fat yogurt also helps balance macros.

Can I add nuts or seeds for extra crunch?

Absolutely! Toasted walnuts, almonds, or sunflower seeds add great texture and healthy fats. Sprinkle them on just before serving to maintain crispness.

Can I make this salad ahead of time for a party?

Prep ingredients separately (store apples with lemon juice to prevent browning) and mix everything 1–2 hours before serving to keep flavors fresh and textures crisp.

What can I use instead of mint for garnish?

Fresh parsley, cilantro, or a sprinkle of cinnamon all work well. For a zesty twist, try grated ginger or lime zest as a garnish.

Is this salad freezer-friendly?

Freezing isn’t recommended, as the yogurt dressing may separate, and the crisp veggies will lose texture. It’s best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated briefly.
