Description

Every April in the Seattle area we try with all of our might to hope Spring into existence. But we know in our hearts that the truest sign of Spring is the roadside strawberry booths. I’ve been known to risk my well-being with my sudden, cheery urge to pull over just so I can purchase a box of Spring. The glorious ways to use strawberries in recipes are endless but in this salad, they remain the star of the show.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Fresh Strawberries
  • ½ cups Strawberry Jam
  • ½ cups Balsamic Vinegar
  • ½ whole Small Lime, Juiced
  • 4 sprigs Fresh Flat Leaf Parsley, Or More To Taste
  • 2 dashes Salt
  • 4 sprigs Fresh Mint

Preparation

Rinse and drain strawberries. Remove stems from the berries and cut them into quarters.

In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk together jam, balsamic vinegar and the juice squeezed from half of the fresh lime. Stir dressing together well. Pour dressing over strawberries.

Chop parsley leaves until very fine and add to salad. Stir together well. Add salt a little at a time to taste. The salt should simply help bring out the other flavors in the salad.

I recommend draining most of the dressing off of salad before plating it. Place salad in tall clear bowls or martini glasses to bring out the beautiful colors. Garnish each serving with a sprig of mint. Enjoy spring in a dish!

Perfect light summer side. I love it with a simple wrap for dinner. Perfect use for all those strawberries that crop up!
