Recipe notes & preparation tips

Though the original salad only used apples, celery and mayonnaise; walnuts mixed in have become an integral part of the modern version of the salad and cherries are only used as a sweet addition to further the contrasts within the salad.

Instead of raisins, try using grapes to create the same sort of taste but more wholly and not as rich.
