1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 large cucumber, thinly sliced (or 2 small cucumbers)
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
2 tbsp fresh mint or basil, chopped
¼ cup crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional)
For the dressing:
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp olive oil
Pinch of salt
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine strawberries, cucumber, red onion (if using), and herbs.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat.
Top with crumbled cheese if desired and serve immediately.
For best texture, serve right after assembling.
Add avocado or chopped nuts for extra richness and crunch.
Skip the cheese to keep it vegan and dairy-free.
