Ingredients

  • ½ cup red bell pepper diced
  • ½ cup yellow bell pepper diced
  • ½ cup English cucumber diced
  • ¼ cup onion diced
  • ¼ cup green apple diced
  • 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove minced or finely diced
  • ¼ cup cilantro (coriander), finely diced
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper optional

Instructions

  • Add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic, salt and black pepper (if using) to a small bowl. Whisk or stir to combine.
  • Dice all the vegetables and herbs, then add to your serving bowl. Drizzle over the olive oil dressing and stir to mix through the salsa.

Notes

  • Dice the bell peppers, apple, cucumber and onion into roughly the same size pieces.
  • I suggest dicing the apple just before serving as it can brown quickly.
  • Adjust with more garlic or cilantro to preference.
