A little sweet and a little creamy, this copycat salad makes a great snack or light lunch. It's pretty filling thanks to the chopped walnuts and raisins while the celery and apples give it an outstanding crunch factor.

Combine the apples, celery, walnuts, water chestnuts, raisins, and pineapple in a bowl. Toss gently to mix.

In another bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Mix until the brown sugar is dissolved.

Fold the dressing into the apple mixture, stirring to coat the salad evenly in the dressing.

A good side dish to take on picnics and barbecues. I did half mayonnaise and half Greek yogurt in the sauce.
