Apples are one of my favorite fruits because they are so versatile. They can be used in sweet or savory dishes. Here is a light salad that sweet and crunchy. Kids and adults can enjoy it. The beauty of cooking at home is you can modify the ingredients for your taste.
Here are a few modifications you might try:
1) If Granny Smith apples are too tart for you replace them with another firm apple like Honey crisp or Gala.
2) pan roast or oven roast the walnuts to give it a lovely smokier flavor or use your favorite nuts.
