For a tangier dressing, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Toasted slivered almonds or sunflower seeds make a delicious crunchy addition. If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing to taste. Make ahead: This salad is best made a few hours in advance, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
