Can I use other fruits in the Cinnamon Apple Grape Salad?

Absolutely! This salad is incredibly versatile. You can substitute apples with pears or add berries like strawberries or blueberries for a flavor twist. The key is to use fresh, seasonal fruits that you enjoy.

How do I store leftovers of the salad?

To maintain freshness, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It's best consumed within 1-2 days, as the fruit may start to brown and lose its crunch.

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the salad a few hours ahead of your meal. However, to preserve the crunch of the apples and grapes, I recommend adding the dressing and nuts just before serving.

Is this salad gluten-free?

Yes, the Cinnamon Apple Grape Salad is completely gluten-free. All the ingredients used are naturally gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for those with gluten sensitivity.

What are some alternative sweeteners I can use?

You can easily swap out honey for other sweeteners like agave syrup, maple syrup, or even date syrup. Each gives a unique flavor while maintaining the sweetness in the dressing.
