Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy this vibrant and healthy salad as a side dish or light meal!
