    Notes:
    Have fun adding other colors and textures like cubed tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, some slice onions, cubed or sliced cucumbers or even some julienned carrots!
    Not fond of walnuts? Try pecans, cashew or even peanuts for the crunch.
    Add dressing and toss just before serving or the salad may go soggy.
    If you do not like raisins, add other dried fruits like dried cranberries, some chopped up dates or even some fresh pomegranate pearls.
