Notes

Scaling & Storage: Apple salad is best when it is enjoyed right away. But you could refrigerate it for up to one day. You can easily double or triple or quadruple the recipe to make a big batch.
Skipping celery or radish or walnuts : If you don’t like some ingredient or if it doesn’t work for you, feel free to omit it. I have listed above some good customization options in the post. 
Chopping celery & walnuts: I prefer my celery and walnuts to be chopped quite fine so there's a little bit in every bite. If you prefer more variety per bite, leave them in slightly larger bits.
Toasting walnuts: For more flavorful walnuts, you can quickly toast them before chopping. Either bake them in an oven preheated to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 10 minutes, or in a dry sauté pan on the stovetop. Just be careful to keep your eyes and nose sharp; the nuts can go from beautifully toasted to rather burnt in a flash. When you start smelling the aroma of the nuts more intensely, they should be ready!

Apples turning brown: Lemon juice is added in this recipe to prevent the apples from oxidizing. If you do not have lemons or lemon juice, you can do a quick soak in either citric acid water (1 teaspoon per cup) or even salt water for 5 to 10 minutes. If you do not have citric acid, try not to cut the apples much ahead of serving them. Even tossing them into plain, cold water will keep them from oxidizing while you make the rest of the salad.
