For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of orange zest to the apple mixture.
To toast the walnuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Allow to cool before chopping.
If you prefer a sweeter salad, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the cream mixture.
Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as pecans or almonds, for the walnuts.
For a vegan option, use vegan mayonnaise and non-dairy whipped cream, and ensure your marshmallows are vegan-friendly.
