Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Wash and dry the cucumbers and strawberries thoroughly. Thinly slice the cucumbers using a mandoline or sharp knife. Hull the strawberries and slice them into uniform pieces. Thinly slice the red onion and chop the fresh mint leaves.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined. The honey should dissolve completely into the dressing.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the sliced cucumbers, strawberries, red onion, and mint leaves. Be careful not to crush the delicate strawberries during mixing.
  4. 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 and crisp texture.

Notes

Choose English or Persian cucumbers for best results. Salad is best served immediately; prepare components ahead but combine just before serving. Customize with nuts, different herbs, or added protein.
