Ingredients
2 large cucumbers, sliced
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped (optional)
Optional add-ins: cherry tomatoes (halved), red onion (thinly sliced), feta cheese (crumbled), avocado (diced)
Instructions
Wash and slice cucumbers into thin rounds, ensuring uniform slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cucumbers, the honey-lime dressing, and optional add-ins (cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta, avocado).
Toss gently to coat the cucumbers evenly with the dressing.
