Cucumber Apple Salad - Kauna Kitchen

I love making salads with different ombinations and I particularly enjoy the fruit and vegetable combination. Recently I combined an apple with some vegetables in my fridge and thus came about this easy but amazing salad recipe that I’m sharing with you today.

My husband who avoids vegetables on his plate like a plague actually went searching for leftovers of this salad in the fridge. My brother-in-law as well finished the entire portion on his plate. I recently made it for some friends in hosted this week and they emptied the bowl as well.

I don’t know what exactly people lover about it; but I think the cool taste of the fresh cucumbers really pairs well with the sweetness of the apples. The juices of the vegetables all mix well together such that you can have it with olive oil just alone.

So I encourage you to try out this recipe as well.You can use whatever salad dressing you prefer, but I used an Italian salad dressing (simply a mix of olive oil and Italian herbs). It’s a salad recipe that can be eaten just on it’s own or had with rice or pasta. Enjoy.
