Ingredients
Instructions
Salad: Add the salad ingredients to a large bowl; set aside.
Dressing: Add the dressing ingredients to a medium bowl (start with 1 TB honey) and whisk vigorously to combine. Adjust to taste with additional honey for sweeter or red wine vinegar for tangier.
Combine: Drizzle the dressing over the cucumber salad and toss to combine. Wait to add dressing if not serving within a few hours; instead, chill separately.
Chill: Cover and refrigerate 1-3 hours before serving.
Adjust to taste: Before serving, taste and season with salt, pepper, and chipotle pepper if desired (we like more salt and chipotle). For tangier, add additional lime juice; for less tangy/sweeter, add additional honey.
