4 servings
- 1 large english cucumber (about 12 oz), thinly sliced into rounds
- 1 medium granny smith apple, cored and thinly sliced
Chef's tipAny firm apple works; Granny Smith is the most tart, so expect a slightly sweeter result. - 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient noteFresh ginger is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/4 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, grated ginger, ground Ceylon cinnamon, and sea salt until the honey is fully dissolved and the dressing is smooth.
- 2
Combine the sliced cucumber and apple in a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and toss until every piece is evenly coated.
