Cultural note

Seasonal note
Granny Smith apples are typically in season in the fall, making this salad a perfect dish for autumn. Celery and walnuts are also readily available during this time.
Health note
This salad is a good source of healthy fats from walnuts and olive oil. It is high in vitamin C from the apples and lemon juice, and provides a moderate amount of fiber. However, it is relatively high in calories and fat, so portion control is key for those watching their intake.
