Chef's Tips
- Apple Varieties: Use crisp, sweet apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji for the best flavor and texture.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the dressing and slice the apples ahead of time, but assemble the salad just before serving to keep it fresh.
- Nut Substitutes: Swap walnuts for pecans or almonds if preferred.
- Extra Protein: Add grilled chicken or shrimp to make this salad a complete meal.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day, though the watercress may wilt slightly.
