For a nuttier flavor, consider adding 1/4 cup of toasted slivered almonds or chopped pecans. If you prefer a less sweet dressing, reduce the amount of sugar to 1/3 cup. To add a bit of crunch, sunflower seeds can be substituted for nuts, or can be added in addition to nuts. The salad can be prepared a day in advance. The salad dressing may become watery as it sits, so drain it slightly before serving.
