2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl or a jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, chopped mint, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine celery, cucumber, apple, red onion, cranberries (if using), and almonds.
