Instructions

Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly under cold water and dry them with a paper towel to ensure they are clean and free of residue.
Core and Chop: Core the apples and chop them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on to add texture and nutrition.
Toss with Lemon Juice: Place the chopped apples in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with the lemon juice, and gently toss to coat. This prevents the apples from browning.
Chop Snickers: Unwrap the Snickers bars and chop them into small half-inch chunks for even distribution throughout the salad.
Set Aside Snickers: Place the chopped Snickers in a small bowl to keep ready for mixing.
Combine with Marshmallows: Add the mini marshmallows and chopped Snickers to the bowl with the apples, mixing gently.
Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the whipped topping and vanilla yogurt, stirring until smooth and creamy.
Fold Dressing Into Salad: Gently fold the creamy dressing into the apple, Snickers, and marshmallow mixture, taking care not to overmix to preserve the texture.
Add Nuts if Desired: If using nuts, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch and flavor.
Cover and Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a serving dish, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
Stir Before Serving: Before serving, gently stir the salad to redistribute the ingredients evenly.
Serve: Scoop the salad into individual bowls or onto a large platter. Garnish with extra chopped Snickers or nuts if desired.
Optional Caramel Drizzle: For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle caramel sauce over the salad before serving.

Notes

Using a mix of sweet and tart apples gives the salad a balanced flavor profile.
Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein but can be substituted with regular vanilla yogurt if preferred.
Chilling the salad helps the flavors meld and improves the texture.
For a nut allergy-friendly version, omit the nuts entirely.
To keep the apples from browning longer, toss them well with lemon juice immediately after chopping.
Extra chopped Snickers bars sprinkled on top add a visually appealing and flavorful finish.
Caramel sauce is optional but enhances the dessert-like quality of the salad.
