Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumbers (300g)
- 1 large green apple
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1-2 scallions, diced
- small bunch of dill, chopped
- 2-3 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- salt to taste
- ground sumac (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and slice cucumbers into thin strips. If you want, you can keep the skin on for a nice color and crunch.
- Add cucumbers, minced garlic, scallions and dill to a salad bowl.
- Core an apple and again, optionally, peel it. Slice the apple into same thin strips. Drizzle it with some lemon juice, while slicing, to prevent it from oxidizing.
- Mix sliced apple with the rest of salad ingredients and serve. Top with ground sumac if desired.
Notes
In original recipe cucumber and apple are grated, but I prefer to thinly slice them instead.
Sumac is completely optional, but I like how it enhances the flavors of this dish.
