Instructions

To a medium-sized airtight container with a lid, add the diced apples and the lemon juice. Cover with the lid and give it a good shake to coat all of the apples with the lemon juice. This will prevent the apples from browning. Add the cucumbers and set aside in the refrigerator.
In a small jar with a lid, add the water, mint, lemon zest, and salt. Add the dressing to the salad. Cover the salad with the lid and give it a few gentle shakes to mix in the dressing.
Place the salad in the refrigerator for at least one hour or overnight for an even more flavorful and refreshing salad.

Notes

If your cucumber is very seedy: Slice it in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then continue to slice and dice the cucumber.
Adjust the texture: To produce different texture, dice, slice, julienne, or ribbon the ingredients.
To avoid browning apples: Make sure to thoroughly coat the chopped apple with the lemon juice.
Leave it to marinate: That way, the flavors have time to meld.
