Cucumber Strawberry Salad

It’s salad time – cucumber strawberry salad. This recipe is inspired by my husband who doesn’t like tomatoes. Creating a bright and colourful salad is a challenge when someone doesn’t like bright red tomatoes. Here, I’m using ultra fresh strawberries. The dressing is homemade, too, so let’s get started!

Ingredients

  • 1 cucumber
  • about 2 cups of strawberries
  • 1/2 a cup of crumbled feta
  • Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup of white vinegar
  • 1/2 a cup of canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of white onion
  • 1/2 a tablespoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds

Instructions

  • First, gather all of your ingredients.
  • Slice the cucumbers into little wedges. If I were making this ahead of time, I'd for sure remove the seeds on the cucumber, yet since we're eating it right away, they stay.
  • Quarter the strawberries - you want them to look nice and full in the salad.
  • Dressing time. Put all ingredients except for the poppy seeds in the blender. Pulse until well mixed. Then, stir in the poppy seeds. Looks good, eh? On this salad I used about 1/3-1/2 of this recipe. The rest is in the fridge ready to be eaten with snap peas. It'll keep for a couple of weeks.
  • Time to mix the cucumbers and strawberries in the dressing.
  • Then, top with crumbled feta.
  • Done! How good does it look? So bright and colourful.
