For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of chopped fresh mint or a handful of toasted pecans. Adjust the sweetness of the dressing to your liking. Some apples are sweeter than others, so you may need more or less sugar. Feel free to experiment with other citrus fruits, such as oranges, blood oranges, or grapefruit. The flavor profile will change slightly, but the results will still be delicious. For a vegan option, substitute the sour cream with a plant-based alternative, such as cashew cream or coconut yogurt.
