Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and dry the strawberries, cucumber, and herbs. Hull the strawberries and slice them into uniform pieces. Thinly slice the cucumber using a mandoline or sharp knife for even slices.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly emulsified.
  3. Combine salad ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the sliced strawberries, cucumber, feta cheese, mint, basil, and red onion if using.
  4. Add dressing: Drizzle the honey lemon dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly without crushing the strawberries.
  5. Serve immediately: Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy right away for the best texture and flavor. The salad can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours if needed.

Notes

For best flavor, use ripe but firm strawberries. Let salad sit 5-10 minutes after dressing to allow flavors to meld. English cucumbers work best. Add toasted almonds or walnuts for extra crunch. Pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or fish.
