7 Ways with Strawberries

Strawberries in Basket

It's hard to want to do anything with fresh strawberries but eat them. Still, it's worth voyaging into new realms and adding the berries to sweet and savory dishes like beverages, tarts, gelato, or even a salsa-topped fish. The berry presence shines loud and clear but is still in perfect symphony with the other flavors.

Strawberry Agua Fresca Recipe

Cool off with a south-of-the-border style smoothie made by blending water, fresh strawberries, lime juice and a little sugar. Although non-alcoholic, agua frescas ("fresh water" drinks) make a nice base for cocktails. Just add a splash of tequila or vodka.

Grilled Pacific Halibut with Rhubarb Compote and Balsamic Strawberries Recipe

Fresh sliced strawberries tossed with a splash of balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of sugar and pepper make a gorgeous salsa for just about any grilled fish. But it's the side of rhubarb compote that lends a sweet, tart contrast to the smoky fish.
