Ingredients
Produce
- 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, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Chop Ingredients: Start by chopping the apples and cucumber into small bite-sized pieces. You can leave the skins on or peel them off based on your preference. Transfer these chopped pieces 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 smooth and well combined.
- Toss Salad: Pour the dressing over the chopped apple and cucumber in the bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then gently stir everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the salad immediately for a crisp, fresh taste or cover and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld beautifully.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Fuji or Gala for a sweeter crunch.
- Peeling the cucumber is optional; the skin adds extra nutrients and texture.
- Adjust honey amount if you prefer a sweeter or lighter dressing.
- The salad is best eaten fresh to maintain its crispness.
