Ingredients
Strawberry - pick ones with brilliant red color. The brighter the color, the sweeter they would be. Check for fresh green caps on top. With good ripe and sweet strawberries, this salad would taste so great.
Cucumber - English cucumber, you know, is slender and looks fresh and green. In summer, this cucumber salad is an easy go-to.
Feta cheese - A crumbly cheese like feta goes very well with chopped salads. You may go for goat or blue cheese as a substitute.
Chopped Onions - Adds a punch to each bite of the salad
Olive oil - is used for the flavor and base of the dressing.
Mint - adds a touch of freshness to the chopped fruit and cucumber.
Pepper - for a bit of heat and flavor.
Salt - as per taste.
How to make
Honestly, this zesty summer salad is one of the easiest that I have prepared. There is no cooking required at all. All you need to do is to learn to chop the strawberry, cucumber, and onions 🙂
After you get the correct picks of strawberry and cucumber, chop them into small pieces. You may prefer to slice the strawberry in the middle with a vertical cut. If the berries are a good size, you may also choose to chop them into four parts.
Just make sure to chop them to a size that you can have a piece of each with the cucumber and onion in each bite. Chop the onions into small pieces. Refer to the image for the right cut size.
When the chopping is done, collect it all in a big bowl and drizzle the olive oil, pepper, and salt and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the bowl. Mix everything well, and you are ready with one of the easiest salads.

Serve With
This summer strawberry salad goes well as a quick and easy side to any meaty meal. Use them as part of the spread in any party or dinner spread.
Store
Cucumber Strawberry Salad is an Instant Salad as you can chop, mix and make it when you need to. There is nothing to pre-cook here. For a few days, chopped berries and veggies like cucumber and onions can be chopped ahead and stored in the refrigerator in a zip-lock bag.
Do not store the salad once you have added the olive oil and cheese, as it makes the salad soggy and not ideal for refrigeration.
