Ingredients
Scale
- 2 crisp apples (Granny Smith or Fuji work well)
- 2 large cucumbers
- 3 celery stalks
- 1 lemon (for fresh juice)
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by washing the apples, cucumbers, and celery thoroughly. Core and slice the apples into thin wedges or small cubes. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons. Chop the celery into thin, crisp slices.
- In a small bowl, mix the juice of one lemon with honey or agave syrup if desired. Whisk until well combined to create a tangy dressing.
- Gently toss the sliced apples, cucumbers, and celery with the lemon dressing in a large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves for added flavor and freshness.
Notes
- Use firm, fresh apples and vegetables for the best crunch.
- Lightly toss apple slices in lemon juice immediately after cutting to prevent browning.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or syrup to match your taste.
- For extra protein and texture, sprinkle with feta cheese or nuts.
