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 honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare your ingredients by washing the strawberries and cucumber thoroughly. Hull the strawberries and slice them into quarters. Thinly slice the cucumber using a sharp knife or mandoline for even pieces.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and cucumbers. Gently toss them together to distribute evenly.
  3. Add the crumbled feta cheese and chopped mint leaves to the bowl. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain the integrity of the feta crumbles.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, and lemon juice until well combined. This simple dressing enhances the natural sweetness of the strawberries without overpowering the other flavors.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Notes

Choose ripe strawberries for best flavor. Use English cucumbers for better texture. Can be made ahead by preparing ingredients separately and combining just before serving. Add grilled chicken or chickpeas to make it a main course.
