Instead of just cucumbers, this Cucumber Salad recipe is a Mexican inspired medley of veggies spiked with cilantro and Cotija cheese, tossed in a light honey chipotle dressing.

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.
