Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare all ingredients by washing and slicing the vegetables and strawberries. Ensure the cucumber slices are thin enough to add a delicate crunch, maintaining the salad’s light texture.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
In a large serving bowl, combine the strawberries, cucumbers, and red onions. Toss gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad mixture. Use a pair of tongs or salad spoons to toss everything together.
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese, toasted almonds, and fresh mint leaves.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.
