Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and olive oil until well combined. Set aside.
2. Prep the Ingredients:

Tips:

- Choose crisp, tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice contrast with the sweet and savory elements of the salad.

- To enhance the flavor of the walnuts, toast them lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the salad.

- If you’re not a fan of raw onions, try soaking them in cold water for about 10 minutes to mellow their flavor.

- Feel free to add a sprinkle of blue cheese or goat cheese for an extra layer of tanginess.

- For a more robust flavor, you can add some chopped parsley or a handful of dried cranberries.
