Method
 

Prep the Produce
  1. Wash the apples and cucumber thoroughly under cold water. Core the apples and slice them thinly using a sharp knife or a mandoline for uniformity, aiming for about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the cucumber into half-moons, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Make the Dressing

Combine & Toss
  1. In a large salad bowl, gently combine the sliced apples and cucumber. Pour the creamy mint yogurt dressing over the salad and toss carefully to avoid bruising the apples.
Chill Before Serving
  1. Refrigerate the salad for about 15 to 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish and Serve
  1. Give the salad a gentle toss before serving. Add extra sprigs of fresh mint on top for an elegant touch.
