Learn how to make delicious Crisp Cucumber Strawberry Salad Freshness. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

This salad is all about celebrating fresh, vibrant ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 cups sliced English cucumbers
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

If you prefer a different cheese, goat cheese is a wonderful substitute for feta. And if mint isn’t your favorite, fresh basil works beautifully in this salad too.

Instructions

Crafting this salad is as enjoyable as eating it. Follow these steps:

  1. Start by preparing your cucumbers and strawberries. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds and hull and slice the strawberries. Set them aside in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the crumbled feta cheese, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped mint leaves to the bowl with the cucumbers and strawberries.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine. Ensure every piece is well-coated with the dressing.
  5. Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

A little tip from my many summer salad experiments: if you like a bit more crunch, adding some toasted almonds or sunflower seeds can give this salad an extra layer of texture.
