Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cucumbers, sliced
- 3 celery stalks, thinly sliced
- 2 crisp apples (like Fuji or Granny Smith), sliced
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- ¼ cup chopped fresh mint or parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional for additional richness)
Instructions
- Wash all fresh produce thoroughly. Slice the cucumbers and apples into thin, uniform pieces. Thinly slice the celery stalks.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice with honey or maple syrup. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in olive oil for a richer dressing if desired.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, celery, and apples. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Garnish with chopped mint or parsley for a fresh herbal flavor. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours, tossing again before serving.
Notes
- For added crunch, incorporate nuts like almonds or sunflower seeds.
- Use lemon juice generously to prevent apples from browning.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for a day.
