Peel the cucumbers, slice them in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Slice the cucumbers into thin half-moons and place them in a large salad bowl.

Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad.
Step 5
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the cucumber and orange mixture, gently tossing everything together to coat evenly.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a light side dish or chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before serving for an extra refreshing touch.
