- 2 whole Granny Smith apples
- 1 large Cucumber
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole Lime
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing and drying all fresh produce.
Core the Granny Smith apples and cut them into thin slices. If desired, you may leave the skin on for added texture.
Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and then into thin half-moon slices.
Thinly slice the red onion into slivers and mix it into a large salad bowl with the apples and cucumbers.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and add them to the salad mixture, tossing gently to combine.
In a small bowl, squeeze the juice of one lime, removing any seeds.
Whisk the lime juice together with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well emulsified.
Pour the lime vinaigrette over the salad and toss until the ingredients are evenly coated.
Allow the salad to sit for at least 5 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
