Note

To prevent the apples from browning, toss them with a little lemon juice immediately after dicing.

For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise.

This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Add toasted walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and a nutty flavor.
