For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the raisins lightly before adding them to the salad. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the dressing. For a more complex flavor profile, consider adding a pinch of ground ginger or cinnamon to the dressing. The salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
