Refreshing Cucumber Honey Lime Bites

Ingredients

- 2 medium cucumbers, chilled
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- A handful of fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cucumbers:
Wash and thoroughly dry the cucumbers. Using a peeler, create alternating stripes by peeling off half-inch strips of skin lengthwise, leaving some of the green skin intact for visual contrast.

2. Slice the Cucumbers:
Cut the cucumbers into 1/4-inch thick rounds. This thickness provides a good balance of sturdiness and freshness for the bites.

3. Mix the Dressing:
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.

4. Assemble the Bites:
Arrange the cucumber slices on a serving platter. Using a small spoon, drizzle a small amount of the honey-lime dressing over each cucumber slice to ensure each bite gets a touch of sweet and tangy flavor.

5. Garnish with Mint:
Sprinkle the finely chopped mint leaves over the cucumber slices, adding a fresh and aromatic finish.

6. Chill Before Serving:
Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cucumber bites for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.

7. Serve and Enjoy:
Remove from the fridge and serve immediately as a refreshing snack or appetizer.
