Tips for a Perfect Apple Salad
- Apple Varieties: Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for a more complex flavor. Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, and Fuji apples work wonderfully together.
- Nuts Substitution: If you have a peanut allergy or prefer a different nut, try using toasted almonds or walnuts instead.
- Sweetness Adjustment: Adjust the sugar in the dressing according to your taste preference. If you like a less sweet salad, reduce the sugar amount.
- Make It Your Own: Add a handful of raisins or dried cranberries for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
