Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large cucumbers, preferably organic
  • 1/4 cup honey (local honey recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)

Optional Add-ons

  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 avocado, diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cucumbers: Wash the cucumbers under cool running water, gently scrubbing to remove any dirt or wax. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, keeping the skin on if you prefer extra crunch and nutrients.
  2. Make the Honey Lime Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper until the honey is fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or lime juice if necessary.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced cucumbers with the honey lime dressing, ensuring an even coat. Add any optional ingredients like cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, or avocado. Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • Use organic and firm cucumbers for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust dressing sweetness and acidity to your taste.
  • Optional additions can be mixed in or served on the side.
  • For a spicy twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
  • Serve immediately for freshness or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
