Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • If you don't have salted cashews, you can use unsalted cashews and add a pinch of salt to the salad.
  • You can add other ingredients to the salad, such as chopped celery, chopped walnuts, or dried cherries.
  • If you're making the salad ahead of time, be sure to wait to add the dressing until just before serving. This will prevent the salad from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

This apple cranberry cashew salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and refreshing salad, give this one a try!
