Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by washing your English cucumber and red apples thoroughly under cool running water. Cut the cucumber into bite-sized pieces, and core and slice the apples into similar-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, combine honey, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice. Whisk together for about 30 seconds until emulsified.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped cucumbers and apples. Pour the honey dressing over the top and toss gently to coat.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the salad and mix gently to distribute evenly.
Enjoy immediately or cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving.
