Notes
Cutting the apple into stars adds a festive touch but also makes the salad visually appealing.
Other fruits you could cut into stars include watermelon pineapple or honeydew.
You could add raspberries, cherries and blackberries to the salad.
To prevent browning you can toss the salad with a mixture of 2 Tablespoons honey combined with 2 Tablespoon lime juice.
