  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 crisp apples (preferably Fuji or Honeycrisp), sliced thin
  • 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • Fresh mint leaves, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Vegetable or olive oil for light dressing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by washing the apples and cucumber thoroughly. Thinly slice the apples and cucumber using a sharp knife or a Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master for quick results. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chopped mint, lemon juice, and honey or maple syrup. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. This mint yogurt dressing adds a cooling, flavorful touch to the salad.
  3. Pour the mint yogurt dressing over the sliced apples and cucumber. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Refrigerate the salad for at least 15-20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired for extra freshness. Serve chilled for maximum refreshment.

Notes

  • For added texture, consider tossing in toasted nuts or seeds.
  • To prevent browning of the apples, sprinkle a little extra lemon juice on top before storing.
  • This salad is best enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
