The combination of flavors, textures, and colors make this salad one of my all-time favorites.
1. For this recipe, tart apples work best. Granny smith or golden delicious both work well.
2. My choices for the chopped nuts would be chopped walnuts, pecans, or roasted almonds. These can easily be omitted if you are not a fan of nuts.
3. This salad is best served the same day as it is prepared. But I have successfully made it a few hours in advance. If serving the next day, be aware that some liquid will pool at the bottom of the serving bowl.
