Green apple salad is a bright and refreshing dish from Chinese cuisine that combines the sweetness of apples, the tartness of lime, and the spiciness of chili. Its origin is linked to traditional Chinese salads where fresh ingredients play a key role in maintaining flavor balance. Green apples add a crunchy texture to the dish, while lime juice enhances their freshness. Soy sauce and garlic add richness, and cherry tomatoes provide a light sweetness.

Serving it with watercress completes the picture by adding a touch of fresh greenery. The ease of preparation makes it accessible for anyone wanting to enjoy a harmonious blend of flavors.
