Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until the ingredients are completely combined, creating a tangy and slightly sweet dressing that will enhance the flavors of the salad.

- For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
- To add crunch, consider topping with toasted pumpkin seeds or nuts.
