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
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the vegetables by washing and slicing the strawberries, cucumber, and red onion if using. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the strawberry and cucumber mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly without crushing the delicate strawberries.
  4. Add the crumbled feta cheese, chopped mint, and basil leaves. Give everything one final gentle toss to distribute the herbs and cheese throughout the salad.
  5. Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.

Notes

Choose ripe strawberries, slice ingredients evenly, use fresh herbs only, prepare components ahead but combine just before serving for optimal texture.
