Cucumber Strawberry Salad is a light, refreshing dish combining crisp cucumber with sweet strawberries, topped with a honey-lime dressing and fresh mint. It’s a healthy and vibrant addition to any meal, perfect for summer.

Ingredients

1 cucumber, sliced thinly

1 1/2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, strawberries, and red onion (if using). Toss gently to mix.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper until the honey is fully dissolved and the dressing is smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cucumber and strawberry mixture. Toss gently to combine.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint over the salad and give it one last gentle toss before serving. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

Add crumbled feta cheese for a creamy, salty contrast.

Incorporate toasted almonds, sunflower seeds, or walnuts for extra crunch.

Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu to turn this into a light meal.

Swap mint for basil for a different herbaceous flavor.

Store dressing separately to maintain freshness if you have leftovers.
