Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples: Different types of apples will give your salad different flavors and textures. Try using a mix of sweet, tart, and crunchy apples.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing will overwhelm the delicate flavors of the apples and walnuts. A simple vinaigrette or lemon dressing is a good choice.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Apple salad is best served immediately after it is made, as the apples will start to brown if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Apple and walnut salad is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its sweet, tart, and crunchy flavors, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
