Place the apple matchsticks in a mixing bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of the cider vinegar to prevent browning.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the remaining cider vinegar, Dijon, honey, celery seed, a pinch of salt, and several grinds of pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
Add the celery, radishes, arugula, dill, and walnuts to the bowl with the apple.
Drizzle on the dressing and toss until everything is lightly coated and glossy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or vinegar as needed. Serve immediately alongside the sandwich to cut through the richness with bright crunch and acidity.
