¼ medium apple chopped

Notes

Can be prepped in advance and stored in the fridge for 3-5 days.
Try bread and butter pickles for a little extra sweetness.
Any type of apple will work, Granny smith will give a tangier flavor while gala will give sweeter.
Swap regular mustard for dijon for extra flavor.
