Strawberry, radish and cucumber salad with mint dressing
SERVES 4
PREP TIME: 15 MINUTES
COOK TIME: NIL
FOR THE DRESSING:
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh mint
- leaves, washed and dried
- ½ tsp honey
- 3½ tbsp freshly squeezed
- lemon juice
- 3½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
FOR THE SALAD:
- 250g (1 punnet) strawberries,
- washed, hulled and sliced 1 medium-sized telegraph
- cucumber, peeled, deseeded
- and sliced
- 1 cup sliced radishes (about a small bunch, depending on size)
- 150g feta, crumbled small mint leaves, for garnishing
Sweet, crunchy and refreshing, with creamy, salty crumbs of feta and a hint of heat from new-season radishes, this is a complete pick-me-up. It’s best enjoyed soon after making.
Make the dressing first: put all the ingredients in a blender or small food processor and whiz until smooth. Taste for seasoning and set aside.
Tumble the sliced strawberries, cucumber, radishes and crumbled feta into a serving bowl. Drizzle over the dressing and toss gently. Garnish with mint leaves and serve.
