Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 medium Green apple
- 0.25 small Red onion
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 large Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by slicing the cucumber into thin rounds. If you prefer, you can also dice them into small cubes. Place them into a large bowl.
Core and thinly slice the green apple. There's no need to peel the apple unless you prefer it that way. Add the apple slices to the bowl with the cucumber.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl.
Tear the fresh mint leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
Roll the lemon on your counter with your palm to soften it, which will make it easier to juice. Then cut it in half and squeeze the juice over the salad, ensuring you catch any seeds.
Drizzle olive oil over the salad and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Gently toss the salad with tongs or two large spoons until all the ingredients are well combined and coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary; add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to fit your preference.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste. This salad is best enjoyed the day it is made but can be refrigerated for up to one day if needed.
