Sweet Tart Slaw With Celery Seed Dressing

From My Great Recipes. From the original card: "You won't use up all the dressing at one time for this quick slaw, but keep it in a jar refrigerated for instant use any time" Also: "You may substitute all or part of the apple with fresh pears, grapes (halved and deseeded), orange segments, or raisins. If desired, you may add 1/2 cup diced walnuts to the salad.
