- If you don't have poppy seeds, you can omit them from the dressing.
- To make the salad ahead of time, toss the apples and pears with the lemon juice to prevent them from browning. Then, cover the salad and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Add the dressing and walnuts just before serving.
- This salad is also delicious served with grilled chicken or fish.
