I love salads and will find an excuse to make one for any meal, including breakfast. This salad is very quick to put together and can be enjoyed immediately after tossing together. The combination of strawberry and cucumber are amplified with the addition of lime and mint. If making a large batch to grab-and-go during the week, leave out the salt until ready to eat. Adding the salt then chilling it in the refrigerator will draw the moisture out from the cucumbers making it a less-than-pleasant watery salad.
