Tips:

For the best results, use a mandoline slicer to cut the apples into matchsticks. This will ensure that the apple slices are thin and uniform.
If you don't have a mandoline slicer, you can use a sharp knife to cut the apples into matchsticks. Just be careful to cut the apples thinly and evenly.
To prevent the apples from browning, toss them with a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar.
You can add other ingredients to the salad, such as nuts, seeds, or dried fruit.
Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
