Notes

Add protein such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or roasted chickpeas for a heartier meal.

Swap walnuts with pecans or almonds for a different crunch.

Make it vegan by using plant-based cheese or omitting the goat cheese.

Swap apples with pears or orange slices for variety.

Store salad components separately in the fridge for up to 2 days and assemble before serving.

Do not reheat this salad as it is best served fresh.
