Hot Honey Apple & Cucumber Salad

This refreshing salad is high in fiber and nutrients and easy to throw together. It bursts with flavor, from the sweet tartness of the apples and hot honey to the tangy salty goat cheese. It’s a pretty salad as well, making it a fun party side dish. Apples are rich in antioxidants, particularly quercetin, that helps reduce your risk for chronic disease. They are also a great source of insoluble and soluble fibers from pectin that feed your beneficial bacteria and keep things moving in your gut. Apple consumption has been tied to blood sugar control in diabetics, reduced cholesterol and lower risk for various cancers. Cucumbers are an excellent source of vitamin K (57% of DV) to help keep your bones healthy. And jicama is an underappreciated root vegetable that offers half of your vitamin C needs in a day in addition to antioxidants and fiber.
