Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 250 g fresh strawberries, sliced (about 1½ cups)
  • 2 mini cucumbers, halved lengthwise, seeded and sliced into half moons (250 g)
  • 100 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1,5 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds
  • 1 handful fresh mint, slivered (about 10 leaves)
  • a few basil leaves (optional)

For the Dressing:

  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1,5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon unseasoned rice vinegar or white balsamic vinegar
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, maple syrup (or honey), olive oil, vinegar, a pinch of sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth and well combined.

  2. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, gently toss together the strawberries, cucumber slices, chopped shallot, slivered mint leaves, and crumbled feta cheese.

  3. Dress the salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss lightly until everything is just coated.

  4. Finish and serve: Scatter the toasted almonds over the top just before serving for a delicious crunch. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Nut-free option: Swap the slivered almonds with toasted pumpkin seeds for a nut-free version.
  • Make it more filling: Toss the salad with cooked couscous, quinoa, or bulgur for a heartier meal.
  • Herb swap: Fresh basil can replace mint for a equally fresh flavour.
  • Add protein: Serve with grilled halloumi on the side
  • Serving suggestion: This salad is perfect with quiche, avocado toast, or as a fresh side to grilled chicken or fish. It’s ideal for brunch, lunch, or light summer dinners.
