Ingredients
- 2 large apples of your choice, cored and diced
- 3 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 English cucumber, diced
- 2 ½ tablespoons of water
- 1 tablespoon of fresh mint, chopped
- 1 teaspoon of lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon of salt, plus more to taste
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.
