Variations & Tips
- To make a healthier version of this salad, opt for Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, and sweeten with maple syrup rather than honey.
- Adding in some shredded chicken or ham can make this salad a more protein-rich, standalone dish.
- For a crunchier twist, consider including sunflower seeds or even a small amount of chopped celery root.
- If you have a sweet tooth, a sprinkle of dried cranberries or raisins can also add an enjoyable chewiness and sweetness to the mix.
- As apples can vary in tartness, adjust the amount of honey or syrup based on your taste and the variety of apples used.
- Lastly, don't be afraid to get creative with spices – a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg can introduce a warm and comforting note to the dish.
