For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet before adding them to the salad. This will enhance their nutty taste and add a pleasant crunch. If you prefer a tangier salad, increase the amount of cider vinegar to taste. For a vegan option, substitute the mayonnaise and sour cream with vegan alternatives. Consider adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the dressing for a warm, spiced variation.
