Ingredients
- ⅔ pound strawberries sliced
- 1 cucumber 8"/20cm, unpeeled, sliced
- 2.12 ounces arugula/rocket leaves 2 handfuls
- ½ cup feta cubed or crumbled
- ½ small red onion very finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons mint leaves finely chopped, approx. 10 leaves
- 1 tablespoon dill chopped, no stems
- ⅓ cup pistachios roughly chopped
- fine sea salt and pepper to taste
For the Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar or balsamic crema, use less
- 2 teaspoons honey omit if using crema
- 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice or to taste
Instructions
- Assemble salad: Spread the arugula over the bottom of your serving dish. Arrange the strawberries and cucumber on top in a single layer.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the herbs, feta, onion and pistachios.
- Serve: Combine the balsamic vinegar with honey and drizzle over the salad. Add the oil, a little lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
Notes
- For best results use fresh seasonal ingredients, if possible.
- I recommend arranging your salad on top of a large bowl with a wide base or plate/platter.
- You can assemble your fresh strawberry cucumber salad (without the dressing) 20 minutes before serving. Add the dressing when you are ready to serve it (otherwise the salad will become soggy and the strawberries, infused with balsamic vinegar, won't taste as fresh).
