Description
A refreshing and crunchy salad featuring cucumbers and apples dressed in a zesty lemon-honey vinaigrette.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1 crisp apple (Fuji or Honeycrisp), thinly sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- Handful of fresh mint or parsley, chopped
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Dressing (Lemon-Honey Vinaigrette):
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- Pinch of salt
- Grind of black pepper
Instructions
- Prep the produce. Wash the cucumbers and apple. Thinly slice the cucumbers and apple into half-moons or matchsticks. Slice the red onion very thinly.
- Make the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify.

- Serve immediately or chill for 10–15 minutes to let flavors meld.
Notes
For best texture, dress the salad just before serving or 10-15 minutes ahead for a more marinated flavor. Explore variations by adding nuts, cheeses, or different herbs.
