We're a little behind strawberry season in my neck of the woods - such a cloudy spring we've had. But the sun is breaking through today and I know we aren't far off. So, in preparation for that happy day that the farmstands open up - here are some great, healthy strawberry recipes.
- The well-loved spinach, strawberry and goat cheese salad is here, along with a very cool looking strawberry sandwich! Oh and a great looking duck recipe. Check them all out. Eating Well.
- Strawberry desserts, all the usual suspects, but most come with a twist in Cooking Light's roundup. Plus a salsa, a pizza and a yummy chicken salad. Cooking Light.
- For those of you rocking the point system, Weight Watchers has a great collection of strawberry recipes to help you plan your meals. Weight Watchers Canada.
- Heidi Swanson always has great, healthy, interesting recipes. Her take on strawberries - Strawberry Panzanella (bread salad). Yum. 101 Cookbooks.
- Another of Heidi's recipes, Roasted Strawberries, from her cookbook Super Natural Everyday Cooking. via Design Sponge.
- Pretty, pretty, pretty. Mark Bittman's Strawberry and Tomato Salad. via Sass & Veracity. And I've got sorrel in my garden just asking to be pruned back. (Note. A prettier addition to the garden than sorrel you will never find. But my husband hates it. So it doesn't get used much.)
- If you can find some passable peaches, or if you can wait a bit longer till they are also in season, this Chilled Peach and Strawberry Soup looks outstanding. Cookstr.
