Tips:

  • For a sweeter salad, use sweeter apples, such as Honeycrisp or Gala. For a tarter salad, use tarter apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
  • To prevent the apples from browning, toss them in lemon juice or vinegar before adding them to the salad.
  • If you don't have any celery on hand, you can use jicama or water chestnuts instead.
  • For a more sophisticated salad, add a tablespoon of chopped fresh tarragon or chives.
  • If you're making the salad ahead of time, wait to add the mayonnaise until just before serving.
