This is an absolutely delicious salad. I did have trouble finding honey roasted cashews, but as necessity is the mother of invention, I created my own. Drizzzled with honey, stirred with brown sugar and toasted. That made them sticky, so I tossed with granulated sugar and they were great. Also soaked the apples in OJ to keep them fresh. I served this at a luncheon and it was a huge hit! Many requests for the recipe!
