Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and peel them if desired. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Place them in a large salad bowl.

Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad.
Step 5
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 6
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Step 7
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a light and refreshing side dish or snack.
