There is so much to love about a salad that has simple ingredients that go perfectly together! I love this strawberry cucumber salad for that reason. I made it Valentine’s Day-themed by cutting all the ingredients into hearts but that is completely optional because this salad is delicious any time! I love it as a salad that is versatile enough to be a side or a main dish! You can add protein to this dish or you can reduce the serving size and share it amongst a few as a side dish. It’s colorful, fresh and perfectly balanced! Let’s dig in.
Salad Dressing Ingredients
Creating this salad is a joyful journey! Start with heart-shaped strawberries and cucumbers to add an extra touch of love to every bite. As mentioned previously of course you can omit this step if you’re not looking to make this salad for V-Day. Combine with spring greens, red onion, fresh basil, peas, and vegan feta, then toss with a homemade lemony dressing for a refreshing finish. This salad comes together in minutes and is worth every bite!
Enjoying this salad fresh for the best experience! If you have leftovers, they’ll keep in the fridge for a day or so, but remember, the fresher, the better. The dressing can be stored separately and used throughout the week. If you don’t think you will finish the whole salad at once I might suggest adding the salad dressing per serving so that the salad could stay fresh a little longer in the fridge.
You could do so many things with this salad like adding your favorite protein for some additional heartiness. You could also add some rice and turn it into a bowl. These ingredients are customizable as well, if you don’t have something on hand you could consider swapping it for something that you do have! The best part of this salad is that you have fun and enjoy the freshness that it provides!
