Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chopped strawberries
- 2 cups chopped cucumbers (I used Persian or mini cucumbers for extra crunch)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 5–10 leaves fresh basil chopped (depending on size)
- 5–10 leaves fresh mint chopped (depending on size)
- Salt + pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 a lemon juice only
- 1/2 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp white wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt + pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine all the dressing components into a small bowl or jar and mix well to blend the flavors.
- Place all salad items in a large bowl and drizzle the prepared dressing over them, then toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, serve the salad right away for the best freshness.
Notes
- FETA CHEESE: Use a brined block of sheep’s feta for better flavor
- Feta should be sharp, salty, and tangy
- VEGAN OPTION: Replace feta with a plant-based alternative and substitute maple syrup for honey
- LEFTOVERS: Best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated up to one day, though they may become soggy
- MAKE AHEAD: Prepare most ingredients and dressing a day ahead, store separately, and add herbs just before serving to prevent browning
- SERVE WITH: Great side for chicken, steak, seafood, and more
