Note
You can garnish the salad with apple slices, sprigs of dill, or green onions. The following tips will help make the salad even healthier and more flavorful:
— You can add a clove of garlic to the salad, first grating it on a fine grater.
— You can also season the dish with yogurt, sour cream or mayonnaise.
— Instead of lemon, you can use vinegar (if you don’t have stomach problems).
Many cooks prepare this dish with raisins, without adding salt, because the salad ends up too sweet. Therefore, in such a case, it's advisable to use a sweet apple.
