Have the linked crispy walnuts completely prepared, dry and cool, and have one batch of the linked honey orange dressing ready. The walnut soaking/drying and dressing preparation are separate from this salad assembly.

Core and chop 1 ripe apple into bite-size pieces. Chop enough celery to measure 1 cup. Finely grate fresh ginger and measure 1 tablespoon. Prepare the apple close to mixing time. Peeling the apple is an optional preparation choice after that form is introduced.

Put the apple, ginger and celery in a medium glass mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup plain raisins and 1/2 cup chopped prepared walnuts, measured after preparation and chopping. Lift and turn gently so the ginger, raisins and nuts spread through the mixture.

Stir the prepared honey orange dressing once more, add the whole batch and fold gently from the bottom of the bowl. Continue until the pieces are evenly coated and still hold their shapes. Look for crisp apple and celery pieces, separate raisins, visible walnuts and a light gloss; a little juice may gather underneath as the salad sits.

Serve as a Full GAPS fruit-based snack between meals once the ingredients are introduced. Cover and refrigerate promptly if holding or storing leftovers, and do not leave the dressed bowl at room temperature for more than 2 hours. The 10-minute preparation and total time are assembly estimates with both components already ready; the fruit and nuts will soften after dressing.
