Instructions
Wash and core the apples, then chop them into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large salad bowl and toss with the lemon juice to prevent browning.

In a small bowl or mason jar, combine the olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake well until the dressing is emulsified.
