- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers and peel them if desired. Slice them into thin rounds and place in a large mixing bowl.
Core and thinly slice the Granny Smith apple, leaving the skin on for color and nutrients. Add to the bowl with the cucumber.
Thinly slice the red onion and add to the bowl with the cucumber and apple.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber, apple, and onion mixture. Toss gently to evenly coat the salad.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add to the salad, mixing gently to distribute.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Add the lemon zest and give the salad one last toss to mix in the zest.
Serve the salad immediately, or for better infusion of flavors, let it sit in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving.
