Strawberries here, strawberries there, and strawberries everywhere this season. And this year they're especially sweet, so plump, and so beautiful. Aside from simply feasting on freshly picked strawberries, I've created two additional ways to enjoy the harvest. The first, a salad dressing, is easy to prepare and was an instant success at our table. The second, a strawberry salsa, makes a colorful, tangy accompaniment to any meal. Enjoy all throughout strawberry season. Californians are lucky to have strawberries available year round!
STRAWBERRY SALAD DRESSING
Yield: 3 cups (720 ml)
- Wash and stem the strawberries and put them into the blender.
- Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
- Adjust the seasonings to taste, being careful not to overpower the delicate flavor of the strawberries.
- Serve immediately over fresh crisp greens or chill until ready to use. Refrigerated, the dressing will keep for 5 days.
SPRINGTIME STRAWBERRY SALSA
Yield: 6 servings
Note:
Once strawberries are cut open, their flavors break down rapidly, so they are Best if eaten the same day..
