cucumber and strawberry salad sounds wrong but try it

Honestly I nearly didn't bother writing this up because it sounds a bit daft but it's become the thing I make about three times a week right now. Basically just: - half a cucumber, sliced thin - a big handful of strawberries, halved - a few mint leaves torn up - some crumbled feta if you've got it - drizzle of olive oil and a tiny bit of balsamic That's it. Dead simple. Takes about four minutes if you're not being precious about it. Lucy actually ate a whole bowl of it which is — I mean that alone is worth mentioning. Tom said it "tasted like a garden" which I think was meant as an insult but he finished it so I'm counting it as a win. Good alongside anything really. Had it with some leftover chicken yesterday, had it on its own the day before when I couldn't be bothered cooking owt proper. It's just fresh and it does the job on a warm-ish day. Not that Leeds has had many of those mind you.

had something similar last summer when I was cutting before a competition — cucumber and fruit combos sound wrong but they actually work, especially when it's too hot to eat anything heavy before training

the mint and balsamic combo is doing a lot of work there actually
