Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 large cucumbers Thinly sliced for that perfect crunch.
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries Hulled and sliced to add sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup red onion Thinly sliced for a bit of zing.
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves Chopped to bring freshness.

  • 3 tbsp olive oil A healthy fat to tie it all together.
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar Adds a tangy depth.
  • Salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Small Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, strawberries, and red onion. This colorful mix is just the beginning!
  2. Step 2: Add the chopped mint leaves and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl. The mint will give it a refreshing aroma.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. This dressing is what makes everything come together.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Be careful not to mush the strawberries!
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. I love it chilled!

Notes

This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
