Tips:

- Use fresh, crisp broccoli and apples for the best texture and taste.

- Try using different apple varieties to see which flavor you prefer; some are sweeter while others are more tart.

- If you prefer a creamier dressing, you can add a tablespoon of yogurt or mayonnaise to the mix.

- For extra crunch, consider adding nuts or seeds, such as almonds or sunflower seeds, to the salad.
