Cooking Tips

• Choose apples that are crisp and slightly tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for a nice contrast of flavors.
• To prevent the apples from browning, you can toss them in a little lemon juice before adding them to the salad.
• Feel free to add other fruits like grapes, berries, or pomegranate seeds to the salad for extra color and flavor.
• For a creamier version, you can mix in some yogurt or whipped cream into the dressing.
• If you prefer a sweeter salad, you can drizzle some maple syrup or agave nectar over the fruits instead of using honey.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover apple fruit salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Before serving leftovers, give the salad a quick stir to redistribute the dressing.
• Serve the salad as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish, or enjoy it on its own as a light and refreshing snack.
