Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by preparing the mint yogurt dressing. In a food processor, combine Greek yogurt, fresh mint leaves, garlic powder, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
  2. Chop the fresh ingredients. Wash and slice the honeycrisp apples into thin wedges or chunks, and cut the cucumbers into similar-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced apples and cucumbers. Pour the mint yogurt dressing over the top and toss gently until all ingredients are well coated.
  4. Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as needed. Transfer to a serving platter or serve in individual bowls. For best flavor, let chill for 10 minutes before serving.
