Make Ahead

The candied pumpkin seeds and walnuts and the vinaigrette can both be made up to 3 days ahead. Store the seeds and walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature and refrigerate the vinaigrette. Bring the vinaigrette to room temperature and whisk well before using. The salad can be assembled a few hours ahead without the apples, dressing, or candied seeds and walnuts. Just before serving, add the apples, toss with the vinaigrette, and finish with the candied seeds and walnuts.
