All I can say is Yummm! The day was hot and the salad ice cold and so refreshing. Who would have thought strawberries and cucumbers could work so well together. I did make one small change I used rice vinegar in place of apple cider vinegar.

This was easy to make. I substituted seasoned rice vinegar for apple cinder vinegar. I used English cucumbers and sliced them with skin unseeded. I mixed all ingredients including oil and tossed it with the cucumbers and chilled the salad until ready to serve and then added the strawberries. The dressing has a lovely subtle flavor. I will make this often. Can’t wait to serve it to company.

Delicious! Very light and tangy and so different. We loved it and had it as a side with roast and potato wedges.
