Ingredients

2 medium-sized cucumbers, thinly sliced

1 large apple (any sweet variety), cored and diced

½ red onion, finely chopped

¼ cup walnuts, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by preparing the cucumbers: Thinly slice them and place them in a large mixing bowl. If desired, you can peel the cucumbers for a milder flavor.

Core and dice the apple into bite-sized pieces and add it to the same bowl with the cucumbers.

Finely chop the red onion and add it to the mixing bowl.

Roughly chop the walnuts and add them to the salad mixture for crunch.

Add the fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and herby flavor.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until well combined.

Pour the dressing over the cucumber and apple mixture and toss gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature for a refreshing dish.
