For a tangier dressing, add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice. To prevent browning, toss the apple and pear with a little lemon juice after dicing and slicing. Try toasting the cashews for added flavor. The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to shake well before using. Consider adding other winter fruits like mandarin oranges or pomegranate seeds for extra color and flavor.
