2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions
Gather all your dressing ingredients.
In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, olive oil, honey or maple syrup, and Dijon mustard.
Add the salt, pepper, and minced garlic to the bowl.
Whisk the mixture well until the dressing is fully emulsified and smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust salt or sweetener if needed.
Pour the dressing over your sliced cucumbers and sweet peppers just before serving.

If you prefer a tangier dressing, slightly increase the amount of rice vinegar.
