Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium English cucumber about 2 ½ cups, cubed into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 red apples cored and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Spoon for mixing

Method
 

  1. Prep the cucumbers and apples: Wash and cube both into bite-sized pieces. Keep the skin on for extra crunch and nutrients.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Combine: Add cucumber, apples, and cilantro into a mixing bowl. Pour dressing over the top.
  4. Toss: Gently mix everything until the dressing coats evenly.
  5. Serve: Enjoy right away for the freshest taste.

Notes

  • Always use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overdress the salad—too much liquid will make the cucumbers soggy.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh; it doesn’t keep well for long.
