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
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of sea salt

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the vegetables and fruit. Wash and slice the strawberries, cucumber, and red onion. Chop the fresh mint leaves and crumble the feta cheese if using a block.
  2. Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, black pepper, and sea salt until well combined.
  3. Combine the salad. In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the sliced strawberries, cucumber, red onion, and mint leaves.
  4. Add dressing and feta. Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
  5. Serve immediately or chill. For best flavor, let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

For the crispiest salad, use an English cucumber as they have fewer seeds and thinner skin. If using regular cucumbers, you may want to peel them first. The sweetness of the strawberries can vary by season, so adjust the honey in the dressing accordingly. For a creamier texture, you can add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the dressing.
