Dice the apples into small, even pieces. Cut the red grapes in half. Drain the pineapple well and dice it into small cubes. Chop the walnuts finely and dice the panela cheese into small cubes. Keeping everything in small pieces ensures that every bite has a balanced mix of flavors and textures.
In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise and yogurt. Add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth, creamy, and well combined. Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness if needed. It should be lightly sweet, not overpowering.
In a large mixing bowl, add: Apples Red grapes Raisins Dried cranberries Pineapple Walnuts Panela cheese. Pour the dressing over the ingredients.
Using a spatula or large spoon, mix gently until all ingredients are evenly coated. Avoid overmixing to keep the fruit and cheese intact and the texture fresh.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Sprinkle a little extra chopped walnut on top for garnish and added crunch.
