Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 2 medium apples, cored and diced
- 1 large cucumber, sliced
- ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
Dressing
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced apples, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion ensuring even distribution.
- Prepare dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and honey until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Toss salad: Drizzle the honey-lemon dressing over the salad ingredients, then toss gently to coat everything evenly without bruising the apples or cucumbers.
- Season and garnish: Add salt and pepper to taste to enhance the flavor, then optionally garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
- Chill and serve: Serve immediately for a crisp texture or chill the salad for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to become even more refreshing.
Notes
- Use crisp, tart apples such as Granny Smith for the best flavor contrast.
- To prevent apples from browning, you can toss them in a little extra lemon juice before mixing with other ingredients.
- Adjust honey to taste depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- Fresh parsley is optional but adds a nice herbal note and vibrant color.
