Calories: 74kcal
Ingredients
- 2 crisp red apples, like Honeycrisp or Fuji
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Thinly slice the apples and cucumber and place in a medium-sized bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice.
- Pour the dressing over the sliced apples and cucumber and stir gently using a rubber spatula, until the salad is well coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The salad is best enjoyed fresh, since the cucumber and apple will soften as it sits.
- Use crisp apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Braeburn for the best texture.
- English cucumber is ideal because it has fewer seeds and less excess moisture.
- Slice the apples and cucumber thinly so the salad feels light and evenly dressed.
