Notes
Low fat or fat-free mayo can be substituted for regular mayonnaise.
To prevent browning, toss apples in a little lemon juice before adding to salad.
Your favorite nuts can be substituted for walnuts, such as sunflower seeds or pecans.
Dark raisins, golden raisins or dried cranberries can be used.
This is best when served within 24 hours, although it will last up to 3 days in the fridge (when properly stored in an airtight container).
Adjust salt and pepper to your personal taste or omit if desired.
