Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing the cucumbers and fresh strawberries thoroughly under cool water. Dice the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces and hull the strawberries before slicing them into thin rounds.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced cucumbers and sliced strawberries. If you're using red onion, finely chop it and add it to the bowl.
  3. Finely chop fresh mint leaves and fold them into the salad. For a creamy twist, crumble some feta cheese over the top.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until the dressing emulsifies and thickens.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
  6. Transfer your salad to a serving dish or individual bowls and serve immediately.
