You make this fresh, crisp salad using cucumber, apple, and a light, creamy dill dressing. It is a simple, healthy side dish perfect for picnics or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 2 crisp apples (like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), cored and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables and fruit: Wash and thinly slice the cucumbers and apples. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, fresh dill, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Combine: Pour the dressing over the cucumber and apple slices. Gently toss everything together until the fruit and vegetables are evenly coated.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Finish and serve: Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted walnuts over the top of the salad. Serve cold.

Notes

  • If you prefer a lighter dressing, substitute the mayonnaise with an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt.
  • For a savory sweet salad combination, use Granny Smith apples for tartness.
  • Toasting the walnuts brings out their flavor; spread them on a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
