Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing the medium English cucumber and red apples thoroughly. Slice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces and core the apples before chopping them into similar-sized chunks.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Transfer the chopped cucumber and apple into a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients and sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Gently toss the salad with a large spoon or salad tongs until all the pieces are evenly coated with the dressing.
  5. For the flavors to meld beautifully, cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
