1 tbsp hot honey
Juice of 1 lime
Sea salt, to taste

Notes
Store the salad in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Cucumbers may release liquid over time, so stir again before eating.
For better texture, keep the goat cheese separate until serving if making ahead.
Chop the onion and jalapeño very finely to avoid overpowering bites.
Regular honey can replace hot honey.
Add extra jalapeño or red pepper flakes for more heat.
Feta or blue cheese also work as substitutes for goat cheese.
Optional greens such as arugula, spinach, or butter lettuce can be added for a larger salad.
Serve with grilled chicken, salmon, burgers, tofu, or shrimp.
