Today I am sharing a really easy-to-make salad, with a burst of flavor. If you have strawberries, cucumbers, onions, and feta then you can make this. A really good salad to bring to your 4th of July event. ❤️ðŸ¤ðŸ’™

This salad is so perfect especially for the hot summer days we are having. The sweetness of the strawberry with the tangy and salty feta is a really good combination. I love enjoying this recipe day or night! Have a try for yourself and let me know what you think. 😉

Summer Strawberry Cucumber Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 large English cucumbers – sliced
• 4 cups of strawberries- quartered
• 1/2 cup of red onion – thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup of feta cheese (cut into cubes)
• A handful of fresh mint leaves
• Optional- Handful of pecans or walnuts

Lemon Dressing Recipe

• 1 lemon (reserve juice)
• 1 lime (reserve juice)
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of honey
• 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
• Salt & pepper to taste

Method:

1. Rinse the produce thoroughly then prepare the fruits and vegetables. In a large bowl combine all of the salad ingredients except the cheese and mint and lightly toss.
2. To prepare the salad dressing, add the ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine.
3. Pour the salad dressing over the salad, and then top with feta cheese and fresh mint leaves.

Recipe notes:

• You can most certainly add any greens to this salad, especially spinach or arugula.
• You can add any nuts of your choice.
• I used Persian cucumbers but I do prefer using English cucumbers. Your choice so use what you like.
• Any dressing works really well but I find the lemon, balsamic, and oil is perfect.
• Be mindful of the mint you use as some are extremely strong! For example, peppermint is very strong so use it sparingly. I used “spearmint” in the salad.
