Ingredients

  • Chopped 2 small Red Delicious apples after coring them and mixing with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Sliced 1 ½ large cucumbers after quartering lengthwise and also sliced 2 carrots after quartering lengthwise. Minced ½ onion and added 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped dill. Combined ¾ cup of balsamic vinegar with ¼ cup of soy sauce and mixed in 3 tablespoons of light mayonnaise flavored with wasabi-horseradish. Added 1 teaspoon of sea salt.
