Ingredients

  • 2 pints strawberries stemmed and sliced
  • 2 large cucumber roughly peeled and sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup honey

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash the strawberries and cucumbers. Stem the strawberries and slice them. You can slice as thin or as thick as you want.
  2. Peel the cucumbers roughly (see photos). Slice thin with a knife or a mandolin.
  3. In a medium size bowl, layer the strawberries and cucumbers in a fan shape, one after the other. Keep going all the way around. I like the have the bottom tip of the strawberry slices poking out the top, because they are more red and thus prettier.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey. Drizzle over the salad and serve immediately.
  5. This salad can be prepared ahead of time, but don't dress it until right before serving.
  6. Store leftovers in an sealed tupperware. There will be quite a bit of liquid released if you have leftovers; I poured it on a green salad, and it was delicious!

Notes

  • Prepare the salad in advance but add the honey balsamic dressing only right before serving to maintain crisp textures.
  • Leftover liquid from the salad can be saved and used as a flavorful dressing on green salads.
  • Arrange strawberry and cucumber slices in a decorative fan pattern for an attractive presentation.
