Make Ahead
Assemble salad as directed, except do not top with dressing or pretzels. Refrigerate up to 1 hour. Drizzle with dressing and top with pretzels just before serving.
Minimize Browning in Cut-Up Fruit
To minimize browning in cut-up apples, pears or bananas, toss the fruit with orange juice or juice from canned pineapple. Or, dip fruit into 1 quart of cold water mixed with 3 Tbsp. lemon juice; pat dry with paper towels.
