Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cucumber Strawberry Salad
- Wash one cucumber and a handful of strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Use a vegetable brush to remove any dirt from the cucumber.
- Slice the cucumber into thin rounds about 1/8-inch thick, and cut the strawberries into quarter-inch thick slices.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the freshly sliced cucumber rounds and strawberry slices. Gently toss to mix.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of honey until smooth.
- Add a pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper to the dressing. Mix well.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the cucumber and strawberry mixture. Gently toss to coat.
- Wash and chiffonade a handful of fresh mint leaves. Sprinkle the mint over the salad and toss gently again.
- Allow the salad to sit for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
