Instructions
- Prepare the dressing by mixing honey, olive oil, lime juice, and fresh mint in a small bowl or a tightly sealed mason jar. Stir or shake well until all combined.
- In a large bowl add sliced cucumbers and strawberries.
- Drizzle the dressing on top of the strawberry and cucumber mix.
- Gently toss everything so it’s all coated without squashing the berries.
- Serve the salad with remaining dressing on the side or refrigerate for later.
- Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste, top with more fresh mint, and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve immediately for best freshness. Keep dressing separate if prepping ahead and add just before serving to maintain crunch.
