Notes
Opt for crisp apples of your preference; consider trying new varieties alongside traditional favorites. Any seedless grape variety may replace the red grapes—ensure they are halved for consistency. The salad can be prepared a day ahead; store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until needed. For a nut variation, swap pecans with chopped walnuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts, pine nuts, or sunflower seeds. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and consume within three days. Avoid freezing as the texture and quality may be compromised.
