Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional, for crunch)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the vegetables and fruit. Wash the strawberries and cucumber thoroughly. Hull the strawberries and slice them into even pieces. Thinly slice the cucumber using a sharp knife or mandoline.
  2. Combine the main ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the sliced strawberries, cucumber, and crumbled feta cheese. Be careful not to mash the strawberries.
  3. Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. The honey helps balance the acidity of the lemon juice.
  4. Dress the salad. Pour the dressing over the strawberry and cucumber mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly. Add the chopped mint leaves and toss once more.
  5. Serve immediately. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with sliced almonds if using. For best flavor, serve within 30 minutes of preparation.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm strawberries for best texture. Use English cucumbers for fewer seeds and no peeling needed. Let salad sit 10-15 minutes after dressing for flavors to meld. Prepare ingredients separately and combine just before serving for optimal texture.
