Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and cucumbers.
  2. Add the crumbled feta cheese and chopped mint leaves to the bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, and lemon juice until well combined.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For best flavor, let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. If using, sprinkle toasted nuts over the top just before serving for added crunch.

Notes

For best texture, slice cucumbers and strawberries to similar thickness. Use high-quality feta cheese. Best served immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours. Try adding fresh basil for variation. Reduce honey and add Dijon mustard for a more savory version.
