Make ahead and Storage Tips: vegetables and apple may be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Vinaigrette may be made up to 2 days ahead. Store, covered in refrigerator; whisk before adding to salad.
If you have never tried almond oil, you will find it has a lighter and sweeter taste than olive oil. If not available, olive oil is just fine.
Time-saver Tip: instead of preparing vegetables and apple by hand, you may shred them using a food processor.
