A refreshing Honey Lime Cucumber Salad that combines crisp cucumbers with a sweet and tangy honey-lime dressing, perfect for summer picnics and barbecues.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- Salt – to taste
- Black pepper – to taste
Instructions
- Wash the cucumbers thoroughly, cut off the ends, and slice them thinly, about 1/4 inch thick. Place the sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and fresh lime juice until well combined.
- Add the sliced cucumbers, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped mint leaves to a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey-lime dressing over the mixture and gently toss until evenly coated.
- Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Notes
- For a vegan option, swap honey for agave syrup.
- If lime juice is unavailable, lemon juice can be used as a substitute.
- Consider adding chopped nuts for a nutty flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days.
