Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by rinsing and thoroughly drying the strawberries and cucumber. Hull the strawberries and slice them. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, combine the dressing ingredients: lemon juice or balsamic vinegar, honey or maple syrup, and olive oil. Whisk or shake until emulsified.
  3. In a large bowl with the cucumbers and strawberries, add chopped herbs and crumble feta cheese over the top. Mix gently.
  4. Drizzle half of the dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat without mashing the strawberries.
  5. Transfer the salad to a serving platter and sprinkle with toasted nuts or seeds. Drizzle the remaining dressing on top and serve immediately.
