Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 3 medium navel oranges
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
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.
Peel the oranges, removing all the white pith. Cut the oranges into segments by slicing between the membranes, and add them to the salad bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl along with the cucumber and oranges.
Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber and orange mixture, gently tossing everything together to coat evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Serve immediately as a light side dish or chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before serving for an extra refreshing touch.
