Notes
Adjust to your liking. This salad is super versatile. Love apples? Add more! Not a fan of cashews? Swap them out. You can play with the recipe and make this your own.
Make it less sweet. Opt for a more tart apple to cut down on the sweetness a bit. You can also reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing to suit your taste if you want a less sweet dressing.
Go semi-homemade. The homemade dressing is super quick and easy to make, but we won't tell if you want to swap in a store-bought salad dressing instead.
