Ingredients
Scale
Salad
- 1 medium English cucumber (about 2 ½ cups), chopped
- 2 red apples, cored and chopped
Dressing
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- ½ Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Chop ingredients: Start by chopping the apples and cucumber into small bite-size pieces. You may peel the cucumber if you prefer, or leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients. Transfer the chopped apples and cucumber to a large mixing bowl.
- Make dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Toss salad: Pour the dressing over the chopped apples and cucumber. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently stir everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Serve or chill: Serve the salad immediately for maximum crispness, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
Notes
- Using fresh, crisp apples and cucumbers will enhance the texture and flavor.
- This salad is best served chilled but should be eaten within a few hours as cucumbers release water over time.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like mint or parsley for extra freshness.
- Adjust the amount of honey based on your preferred sweetness level.
