Tips & Notes

Serve fresh: Only dress the salad just before eating, otherwise the romaine goes limp and the apples release water.

More crunch: Sprinkle with a few toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds.

Honey: If you tolerate honey well, you can use 1 tbsp honey instead of maple syrup in the dressing, as in the original recipe.
