• For extra flavor, you can add some crumbled goat cheese or toasted nuts to the salad.

Storage and Serving

• This apple salad is best served immediately after assembling to maintain its freshness and crispness.
• If you need to prepare it in advance, keep the vinaigrette separate and toss it with the salad just before serving.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
