7 Ways with Strawberries

Strawberries in Basket

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.
