Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of fresh cucumber, sliced thin
- 2 large apples, thinly sliced (preferably Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons of fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped nuts or seeds for topping
Instructions
- Wash the cucumbers and apples thoroughly. Slice them thinly for a better crunch and easier mixing.
- In a small bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, chopped mint, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined. This mint yogurt dressing adds a cooling, creamy flavor that complements the freshness of the fruits and vegetables.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced apples and cucumbers. Drizzle with the mint yogurt dressing and toss gently to coat evenly. For an extra crunch, sprinkle optional chopped nuts or seeds on top.
- Refrigerate the salad for about 15-20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld beautifully. Serve in individual bowls and enjoy the refreshing taste of this apple cucumber salad with mint yogurt dressing.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and crunch.
- To keep the apples from browning, toss them with lemon juice immediately after slicing.
- Feel free to add protein like grilled chicken or tofu for a more filling meal.
- Customizable with toppings like nuts, seeds, or crumbled feta cheese for extra texture and flavor.
