Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples for different flavors and textures. Granny Smith apples are tart and crisp, while Honeycrisp apples are sweet and juicy. Pink Lady apples are a good all-around choice.
  • If you don't have any celery, you can substitute another crunchy vegetable, such as carrots or jicama.
  • For a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon or two of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
  • If you're making the salad ahead of time, wait to add the pineapple and apples until just before serving. This will prevent them from browning.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or spinach, or in a lettuce wrap. You can also serve it as a sandwich on whole-wheat bread.
