Tips for Making Apple Salad with Mayo

- Choose firm, crisp apples for the salad. Granny Smith apples are a good option, as they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that pairs well with the mayonnaise dressing. - Cut the apples into thin slices so that they will be easy to eat. - Toss the apple slices with a little bit of lemon juice to prevent them from browning. - Use a good quality mayonnaise for the dressing. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh eggs and oil, and avoid mayonnaise that contains a lot of additives. - Add some chopped celery and walnuts to the salad for extra crunch and flavor. - Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
