Notes

Make ahead of time. Prepare the dressing 1-2 days before. The salad can be assembled a few hours before serving, but be sure to treat the apples and avocados with Balls Fresh Fruit. Don't add the dressing until right before serving.
STORE. Depending on how much dressing the salad has on it leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-3 days.
