This Strawberry Cucumber Salad is a vibrant and refreshing summer dish combining juicy strawberries, crisp cucumber slices, and fresh mint. Tossed in a tangy-sweet honey balsamic dressing, it offers a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity to brighten your palate in just 10 minutes.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

For the Dressing

  • 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey

For the Salad

  • 1 Pint Strawberries, sliced into chunks
  • 1 English Cucumber, sliced into chunks
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Mint, julienned

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar with 2 tablespoons of honey. Whisk together until thoroughly blended and the honey is fully dissolved, forming a smooth, tangy-sweet dressing.
  2. Assemble the Salad: Place the sliced strawberries and cucumber chunks into a large serving bowl. This fresh base sets the stage for the flavors to blend.
  3. Add Mint and Dress: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of julienned fresh mint over the fruit and cucumbers. Pour the prepared honey balsamic dressing evenly over the ingredients. Gently toss everything together until the salad is fully coated and the flavors meld. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Adjust honey amount if you prefer a sweeter or more tart dressing.
  • Mint adds a refreshing note; you can add more or substitute with basil for variation.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
  • For a more filling option, add some crumbled feta or toasted nuts.
