In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine, ensuring the dressing evenly coats all the vegetables.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.
