Nice salad, pretty pink dressing and always love the walnut/apple combination. We found the dressing a bit on the sharp side due to the onion, which was nice for me, but my children found it spicy. I'd be tempted to leave the onion out next time and maybe sprinkle some slivers of onion on instead. Thanks GailAnn, I'll definitely make this one again.
