Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing the cucumber and red apples thoroughly to remove any residues. Using a sharp knife, chop the cucumber and apples into bite-sized pieces, keeping the skin on for added texture and nutrition.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, apple cider vinegar, and freshly squeezed lemon juice until well combined and smooth.
  3. Pour the tangy dressing over the bowl of chopped cucumbers and apples. Gently toss the salad to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper over the mixture, tasting as you go to find the perfect balance of flavors.
  5. Serve this refreshing salad immediately or allow it to chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes.
