Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large cucumbers, sliced thin
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: crumbled feta cheese or chopped nuts for added texture
Instructions
- Start by washing the cucumbers and strawberries thoroughly. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, and hull and slice the strawberries. Combining thin slices ensures a harmonious blend of flavors with each bite.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 lime, honey, and olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor. Stir in chopped fresh mint leaves for that signature Minty Lime Dressing. The bright, tangy dressing will elevate the fresh ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and strawberries. Drizzle the Minty Lime Dressing over the top and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly. For extra flavor, consider sprinkling some crumbled feta or chopped nuts.
- Refrigerate the salad for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a refreshing salad on its own or as a side dish to grilled chicken or seafood.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Keep the dressing separate if possible to prevent sogginess.
- Refresh the salad with a quick toss before serving again.
