Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ lb strawberries, quartered
- 4 cups sliced cucumbers (about 1 large English cucumber)
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 8 oz feta cheese, cubed
- ½ cup fresh mint, minced
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup golden balsamic vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine strawberries, cucumbers, red onion, feta cheese, and mint.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients.
- Gently toss everything together to coat.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1–2 days for flavors to meld.
Notes
- Best consumed within 1–2 days, as strawberries soften and cucumbers release water.
- Substitute goat cheese for feta for a milder flavor—adjust salt as needed.
- Can use white wine vinegar instead of balsamic for a lighter taste.
- Mint can be replaced with basil or cilantro if preferred.
