Notes

For extra crunch, consider adding nuts like walnuts or almonds. If you want more color, try using different types of apples. Always wash your vegetables and fruits thoroughly before cutting. Adjust the honey to your taste if you prefer a sweeter dressing. To keep the salad fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best to consume it within 1 to 2 days for optimal taste and crunch.
