Get the Fruit Ready: In a big bowl, mix together the grapes, pears, apples, and celery that have been chopped. Mix in the dried cranberries by gently tossing.
Toasted nuts: Toast the nuts in a dry pan over medium heat, tossing often to avoid burning, until fragrant and slightly toasted, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. After the nuts have toasted, roughly chop them and toss them in with the fruit in the bowl.
Get the Dressing Started: While a sprinkle of salt is in a separate dish, mix the yogurt, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Mix and Refrigerate: Toss the fruit and nuts with the dressing and mix lightly to coat. In order for the flavors to combine, chill the salad in the fridge for half an hour.
Toss the salad gently to spread the dressing and seasonings before serving. Best enjoyed cold.
