Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 medium English cucumber (about 2 ½ cups), chopped
  • 2 red apples, cored and chopped

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Chop the produce: Start by chopping the apples and cucumber into small, bite-sized pieces. You can either leave the skin on or peel it off based on your preference. Transfer the chopped fruit and vegetables into a mixing bowl.
  2. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey until well combined, creating a tangy and slightly sweet dressing.
  3. Toss the salad: Pour the dressing over the chopped apples and cucumber. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste. Gently stir everything together to ensure all the salad pieces are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Serve or chill: Serve the salad immediately for maximum crispness, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and intensify before serving.

Notes

  • Peeling the cucumber and apples is optional; keeping the skin adds extra fiber and nutrients.
  • For added crunch, you can sprinkle some toasted nuts like walnuts or pecans.
  • If you prefer a less sweet salad, adjust the amount of honey or omit it entirely.
  • This salad is best consumed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
