Simple green salad

A bag of mixed salad leaves
One Granny Smith apple
One Lebanese cucumber
Olive oil
Juice of half a small lemon
Salt
Pepper

Wash the salad leaves and dry them well. I use a salad spinner for convenience. Cut the Granny Smith apple into thin strips - like match sticks. Slice the cucumber into slices diagonally and then further cut each diagonal piece into little strips.

Add all the ingredients into a large bowl. In a small jar or bowl add one teaspoon of lemon juice and two teaspoons of olive oil and salt and pepper to your taste. Mix well to emulsify ( you can also add sone dijon mustard to the dressing and use garlic infused olive oil), but since I was serving it with a schnitzel, I decided to keep the flavour clean and simple. Dress the salad just before serving to avoid it going limp and soggy. Toss well to ensure all the leaves are covered. Enjoy
