Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing and preparing your vegetables for the salad. Thinly slice celery ribs on a bias, core and cut green apples into matchsticks, and slice the cucumber into 1/4-inch half-moons.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, sugar, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine celery, apples, cucumber, red onion, and dill. Toss gently to mix before pouring the dressing over the salad and tossing to coat.
  4. Serve the salad immediately for the best freshness or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving.
