Notes
- Add a splash of lemon juice to the maple-orange dressing to keep the fruits from turning brown.
- Sprinkle the salad with pecans, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds before serving to add crunchy and nutty flavor.
- Similarly, consider adding unique ingredients like fresh herbs (mint, basil), coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of sea salt to elevate the flavor profile and add complexity to the salad.
- Play around with different dressings or sauces. Try something like maple-lime dressing or a balsamic glaze.
