š” Pro Tips
To prevent the apples from browning, toss them with a little lemon juice before adding them to the salad. For a crisper salad, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving. To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the apple cider vinaigrette and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
