Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, sliced strawberries, and thinly sliced red onion. Gently toss to combine.

Add Feta and Mint: If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad, and add the chopped mint leaves. Toss gently to distribute without bruising the strawberries.
