    Apple Cucumber Mint Salad is a perfect vegan and gluten-free salad flavored with fresh ingredients like mint, lemon juice, and rich in protein with Peanut Butter as the creamy layer. With everything available in your kitchen, this salad can be ready just in 10 minutes. The taste and health get on board together and it is an ideal choice for weight-loss food.

    Ingredients Overview

    I am fond of Apples and cucumbers and hence the choice was simple for me. One may choose any fruit or salad of choice like peach, carrots, zucchini, radish, lettuce, banana etc.

    What I love most about this salad is the mint flavor mixed with lemon juice. I have tried several flavors but nothing can beat the freshness of mint leaves. I have added maple syrup and peanut butter for the smooth creamy texture. One can replace it with fresh garlic dips or hung curd dip.

    One may also top this salad with dry fruits.
