Happiness Is Strawberries!
Strawberries are a treat year-round thanks to amazing growers here in California and Mexico. But when you get the local, they are so darn sweet and tasty. I just got home from a visit to Tennessee and was lucky to taste a few local treats from their neck of the woods. However, the first thing I bought when I got back home was a big flat of strawberries from local California growers and I am ready to eat their goodness all week!
Yummy Strawberry Lunch and Dinner Ideas
Here is five of my favorites.
- Just wash and eat. Seriously, they are so good right off the plant, washed well, and put in a cute bowl.
- Strawberry Salad with other berries. I love this salad, filled with berry goodness. This salad has amazing caramelized pecans!
- Strawberry Chinese Chicken Salad with a Strawberry vinaigrette– This is hands down one of my favorite recipes.
- Strawberry Mascarpone Mint Honey Crostini – This is one of those luncheons treats that you just can’t stop eating.
- Strawberry Preserves on a slab of Irish Soda Bread – So it’s not fancy, but it sure is tasty.
I hope these recipes encourage you to find your very own favorite locally grown veggies and fruits!
