Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing your English cucumber and red apples thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or wax. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference, before dicing the apples into small, bite-sized cubes. Place all the chopped ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and the juice of half a lemon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Once your dressing is ready, pour it over the chopped cucumber and apple mixture in the large bowl. Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together.
  4. Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper over the salad, allowing the freshness of the apples and cucumbers to shine. Gently mix again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
  5. You can serve your Cucumber Apple Salad immediately or allow it to chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes.
