Living in the South, Strawberries are available in abundance. We weekly can get fresh strawberries from a farm right outside our little town. $5 for a half a flat $10 for a full. there are points where you turn around and go What the HELL am I gonna do with ALL these Strawberries!!!! Well you get creative ;)
- We have Of Course Strawberry Shortcake
- And Cheesecake (all made from Scratch)
- lightly glazed strawberries for snacking
- Strawberry lemonade
- Preserves
- And then my topic for the evening..... Salad
That's right... Strawberry Salad!!! It is actually quite good. I am not gonna go giving away my secret recipes or anything but i will give you the run down of the whole idea.
- you start with several kinds of greens... I tend to use Spinach, Romaine, and Arugula. Wash and let the leaves dry. Then break them into small bite sized pieces.
- Next you Cut your Strawberries in slices. the mix them with a light amount of sugar or splenda. I personal use splenda (they don't get quite so crystallized this way). Refrigerate
- To create a dressing i use a balsamic vinaigrette and a little oil blended with some lemon juice.
- also add some cheese like feta or Parmesan or both.
- And finally and some kind of nut like a pecan or walnut.
- toss all together. and serve slightly chilled!
until the fates let us,
Ali
