Ingredients:

• 1 medium-sized yellow summer squash, thinly sliced
• 1 medium-sized zucchini, thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

To start, thinly slice the yellow squash and zucchini and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced strawberries, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped mint to the bowl.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour this dressing over the salad ingredients in the large mixing bowl and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.

Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. The sweetness of the strawberries paired with the tangy feta and fresh mint creates a delightful combination of flavors in every bite.
