Tips:

- Choose fresh, crisp apples to ensure the best texture and flavor in your salad.

- Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the salad for an extra layer of depth and nutty flavor.

- If you find raw red onions too sharp, you can soak them in cold water for a few minutes to mellow their flavor.

- For a lighter version of the dressing, use half mayonnaise and half Greek yogurt.

- Feel free to customize the salad by adding or substituting other ingredients like raisins, grapes, or even shredded chicken for extra protein.
