Ingredients

• 2 large English cucumber
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the English cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly slice the cucumbers into rounds. For a more decorative look, you can also cut them into half-moon shapes by first halving the cucumber lengthwise.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) until well combined.

Step 4

Chop the fresh cilantro finely and add it to the dressing mixture.

Step 5

Add the sliced cucumbers to the mixing bowl with the dressing and toss thoroughly to coat all the pieces evenly.

Step 6

Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with extra cilantro if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or light snack.
