Simple Refreshing Salad. Simple ingredients using apple, cucumber, and tomato combined with a lovely easy yogurt dressing makes for a deliciously refreshing salad.

Simple Refreshing Salad! This is a really easy and quick recipe for making a side salad, and the combination of the 3 simple salad ingredients I use cucumber, tomato, and Granny Smith apples is delightful!
The crunch from the apple and cucumber and the burst of juicy tomato, all mixed with a slight sharpness of taste from the apple is delicious!
It is lovely after it has chilled in the fridge, however, if your salad ingredients are already chilled then this can be served immediately!
I often make this because it's simple, I usually always have these ingredients handy and it just goes great with so many things.
For the dressing, I've made it light, so I used fat-free plain yogurt, you can of course use mayonnaise if you want to.
Delicious with BBQ's, picnics or indeed anything!
