Notes

  • Tip 1: You can use Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise for a lighter dressing.
  • Tip 2: This salad is best served fresh but can be made a few hours in advance; just keep the dressing separate until serving.
  • Tip 3: Try adding dried cranberries for extra sweetness and color.
  • Tip 4: For a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts.
  • Tip 5: Experiment with different types of apples to find your favorite flavor combination!
