Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine Fresh Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, strawberries, red onion, and mint leaves, creating a beautiful medley of colors and textures.
- Whisk Together the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. This zesty dressing will seamlessly blend different flavors in the salad.
- Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Be careful not to mush the strawberries; we want their shape and sweet integrity to shine through.
- Garnish and Serve Immediately: Top with crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately. The creamy feta brings it all together, offering a delightful bite in every forkful.
Notes
This salad pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or fish, making it an excellent addition to a summer barbecue. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
