Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large English cucumber, sliced thin
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Pinch of salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese for added flavor
Instructions
- Start by washing the cucumbers and strawberries thoroughly. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Slice the strawberries into even pieces.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the zesty minty lime dressing. For extra freshness, add chopped mint leaves into the dressing or directly into the salad.
- Place the sliced cucumbers and strawberries in a large salad bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss until everything is evenly coated. Garnish with additional mint leaves or optional cheese for a decadent touch.
Notes
- Serve immediately for the freshest flavors, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Add strawberries just before serving to prevent softening. For extra coolness, chill with ice cubes before serving.
