instructions
    1

    Begin by washing the cucumber and apple under cold water. This will ensure your ingredients are clean and fresh.

    2

    Cut the cucumber into thin rounds. Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness. Set aside in a mixing bowl.

    3

    Next, slice the apple into thin wedges or cubes, depending on your preference. Remove the core and any seeds. Add the apple pieces to the bowl with the cucumber.

    4

    Juice the lime into a small bowl, making sure to catch any seeds. Pour the lime juice over the cucumber and apple mixture. This will not only add flavor but will also help to prevent the apple from browning.

    5

    Finely chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl. This herb will add a burst of freshness and a lovely aroma to your salad.

    6

    Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the mixture and toss everything gently to combine. You want all the flavors to meld together.

    7

    Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes so the flavors can marry, then give it a final toss and serve cold.
