💡 To prevent the apple and pear from browning, toss them in a little lemon juice before adding to the salad.Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for a more vibrant dressing flavor.For added crunch, toast the cashews lightly before adding to the salad.The dressing can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
