Note

To prevent apples from browning, toss them in a little lemon juice before mixing with other ingredients.

This salad is best served cold. It can be made up to 24 hours in advance and kept refrigerated.

For a lighter version, substitute low-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for the regular mayonnaise.

Garnish with a sprig of parsley or a few whole grapes for presentation.

Ensure the mold is well-greased to ensure the salad releases cleanly when inverted.
