Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the vegetables and fruit. Wash the cucumbers and strawberries thoroughly. Thinly slice the cucumbers and strawberries, and chop the mint leaves. If using red onion, slice it thinly.
  2. Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. The honey should dissolve completely into the mixture.
  3. Combine the salad. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced cucumbers, strawberries, mint, and red onion (if using) together. Be careful not to crush the strawberries.
  4. Dress and serve. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly. If using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the top just before serving. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm strawberries that hold their shape. English cucumbers work well with fewer seeds. Keep dressing separate if making ahead and toss just before serving to maintain crisp texture.
