Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cucumbers, sliced
  • 2 cups Granny Smith apples, chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Wash cucumbers and apples thoroughly. Slice cucumbers into rounds or half-moons. Chop apples into bite-sized pieces and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. Thinly slice the red onion. Soak in cold water for 5 minutes if too pungent, then drain.
  3. Roughly chop fresh mint leaves.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cucumbers, apples, red onion, and mint. Drizzle with olive oil and remaining lemon juice. Toss gently until coated.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or additional lemon juice if needed.
  6. Serve chilled, garnished with extra mint leaves or nuts if desired.
