Apple Cucumber Mignonette

This mignonette provides a light, fruity and “summery” twist on the oft-used red wine and shallot accompaniment for oysters. The bright condiment takes about 5 minutes to make and can be stored for up to a week in an airtight container. The recipe makes plenty to dress up a dozen oysters.
