Ingredients
4 cups English cucumbers, sliced (about 2 large cucumbers)
1 pint fresh blueberries
8 basil leaves, torn
¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
Dressing:
In a large bowl, combine cucumber slices, blueberries, torn basil, and red onion.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
Stir in feta cheese and almonds just before serving to maintain texture.
Serve immediately for maximum freshness or chill briefly—add almonds at the last moment if making ahead.
