Add 1 diced red onion to the bowl.

Add 4 ounces of cubed cheddar cheese to the bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of craisins to the bowl.

Add 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts to the bowl.

Add 1 diced gala apple (skins on or peeled) to the bowl.

Add some shredded carrots to the bowl.

Toss the salad ingredients together to mix them.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of white mayo, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar until smooth.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Store the salad in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Serve the salad cold.
