This Cucumber Strawberry Salad combines the crisp freshness of cucumbers with the sweet juiciness of strawberries. Dressed in a light honey-lemon vinaigrette, it’s a quick, refreshing, and versatile dish perfect for any meal or occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh mint or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse strawberries under cold water, pat dry, hull, and slice into halves or quarters.
  2. Wash cucumber thoroughly, peel if desired, and slice thinly. Remove seeds if preferred.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey (or maple syrup), olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Place sliced strawberries and cucumbers in a large bowl. Pour dressing over them.
  5. Gently toss the salad to coat all pieces evenly without bruising the strawberries.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to chill and let flavors meld.
  7. Before serving, garnish with chopped fresh mint or basil if desired.

Notes

Add grilled chicken ham or turkey bacon for a protein boost.

For a creamier texture, sprinkle crumbled feta or goat cheese on top.

Use maple syrup instead of honey to make it vegan-friendly.

Best served fresh; consume leftovers within 1–2 days.
