Prepare Ingredients: Rinse and dry one pint of fresh strawberries and one large cucumber. Hull the strawberries and slice them into quarters. Thinly slice the cucumber into rounds or half-moons.

Mix Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and strawberries. Add crumbled feta cheese if desired, and toss to mix.

Toss Lightly: Drizzle half of the prepared dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat.

Garnish & Serve: Transfer the salad to serving platters or bowls. Sprinkle with toasted nuts or seeds and drizzle with remaining dressing. Serve immediately.
