Notes
- Fruit options: Instead of grapes, or in addition to grapes, you can add sliced apple, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp or any crisp apple. A firm ripe pear, such as Anjou pears, goes well too.
- Possible add-ins: Dried cranberries, golden raisins, or dried cherries are good, as well as almost any type of nut, such as toasted pecans, sliced almonds, or toasted walnuts. You could add thinly sliced celery or red onions. For a savory note, add bacon, cooked and crumbled (try baked bacon or air fryer bacon).
- Cheese options: Try blue cheese, gorgonzola, or goat cheese instead of Parmesan
- Storage: Leftover salad can be stored, tightly covered, for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. The salad will lose some of its crispness and red grapes will turn the salad a little pink.
