Note

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

For a vegan version, ensure any dressing used is plant-based, avoiding mayonnaise or dairy products.

You can add raisins or grapes for extra sweetness if desired.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Toast the nuts lightly in a dry pan for added flavor and crunch.
