Notes
You can use pre-sliced apple slices or slice fresh apples yourself.
You can also swap some ingredients for your favorites:
• Pecans can be swapped for walnuts
• Honey can be replaced with maple syrup or any syrup
• Crumbled blue cheese can be substituted with crumbled feta, etc.
It will taste different, but it’s still a nutritious, delicious, and easy-to-make salad.
