Peel the onion and garlic clove and chop them. We save for later use.
Cut the sides of the cucumber, peel and cut into slices. We reserve with the rest of the vegetables.

We remove the pedicle and sepal (the stems) of the strawberries and cut them.
Add the vegetables, the wet bread and the strawberries into the blender glass. We also added a splash of olive oil and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Optionally we can also put a pinch of salt.
We crush everything for about 2 minutes until we get a good mix of all the ingredients.
