Expert Tips

• The tartness of the lemon pairs wonderfully with the sweet crispness of the apples; however, you can cut down on the lemon anduse only the juice of half a lemon if you want it to be a little less tart!
• Storing the salad separate from the dressing will help keep the salad fresh and crispy! I would recommend only putting dressing on half the salad at a time in case you have any leftovers to store.
• You can replace the walnuts with plain or candied pecans.Candied pecansadd a nice crunch and extra bit of sweetness to the salad!
• If you don’t have plain Greek yogurt, you canuse vanilla yogurt. If you are using the vanilla yogurt, you can omit the honey or reduce it to ½ tablespoon because the yogurt is already sweetened.

How to Serve and Store Apple Salad

Depending on the occasion, apple salad can be served as the main course with a side of bread orrolls. Adding some shredded chicken to this salad is an easy way to make it a little more filling and add some protein.

If you want to serve it as a side salad, you can pair it with grilled chicken,salmon, orshrimp!

If you have leftovers, you can store the salad and dressing in separate containers in airtight containers in the fridge. The salad will last for up to 4 days. The dressing will last about a week and a half. Simply pour the dressing on top of single servings of the salad and enjoy when you’re ready to eat it again!
