6 Sweet And Savory Strawberry Recipes

Full of vitamin C, potassium, and folic acid, fresh strawberries have an attractive fragrance and a sweet, juicy bite. While great as a snack on their own or perhaps dipped in some sugar, strawberries can also be used for both sweet and savory dishes.
Of course, starting the morning off with a delicious French Toast with Strawberries and Hazelnuts, like the recipe below, is perfect for a Sunday brunch. And finishing a meal off with a barely baked Strawberry Pie or a Strawberry Shortcake with homemade biscuits is a fantastic end to any dinner. But why not make the whole meal strawberry-themed and start it off with Strawberry and Ricotta appetizers, followed by a Steak with Strawberry Salsa? Maybe that's going overboard.
What can be taken from these suggestions is that strawberries work well in a variety of dishes, even salads like this Strawberry and Cheddar recipe. Make the most of healthy, vibrant strawberries and have some fun with the food you make this spring and summer.
