A refreshing and healthy Cucumber Apple Salad combining crisp cucumber and sweet red apples with a tangy honey-lemon dressing, perfect as a light snack or side dish.

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

  1. Chop Ingredients: Start by chopping the apples and cucumber into small, bite-size pieces. You can choose to leave the skin on or peel it off according to your preference. Transfer the chopped apples and cucumber to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey until well combined, creating a tangy and sweet dressing.
  3. Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the chopped cucumber and apples. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently stir everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Serve or Chill: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or store in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • You can peel the cucumber and apples if you prefer a smoother texture.
  • If you like a crunchier salad, add chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • Adjust the honey and lemon juice according to your taste preference.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be chilled for up to 30 minutes.
  • Try substituting the honey with agave syrup for a vegan option.
