Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumber
- 2 large navel orange
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and peel them if desired. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Slice the oranges into thin rounds or segments and add them to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Peel and thinly slice half a red onion. Add the onion slices to the salad bowl.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice if desired.
Serve immediately as a light and refreshing side dish or snack.
