Servings: 6
Cost/Serving: $0.76
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp oil
1/2 Tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp honey
1/2 Tbsp apple juice
1/4 tsp salt
Pinch of black pepper
1 apple, unpeeled, preferably red
apples
1 tsp lemon juice
2 cucumbers, peeled and sliced into
1/4-inch slices
3 Tbsp red bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 Tbsp red onion, diced
Optional: 1 1/2 tsp dill, chopped
Preparation
1. Combine the dressing ingredients: oil, vinegar, honey, apple juice, salt, and
pepper in a bowl. This can be done one day ahead of time. Cover and
refrigerate the dressing if done in advance.
2. Wash the apples well, as you will be using the skins. Use an apple sectioner
to core and section the apples, or do this by hand. Discard the core and
halve the slices.
3. Toss the apples with the lemon juice in a large bowl to prevent them from
browning.
4. Add the cucumbers, red pepper, red onion, and dill, if you are using it. Add
the dressing, then toss to thoroughly combine. Chill.
