My Top Ten List of Favorite Strawberry Recipes

Strawberries: The Perfect Fruit

I love strawberries: always have. Judging from the popularity of events like the Pasadena Strawberry Festival in Texas, as well as other strawberry festivals in the rest of the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Australia.

Nutritious strawberries,  loaded with vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, are luscious and versatile: it is possible to feature these fruit in every meal's course: salad and main dish, as well as dessert. Of course, they also make a good snack to eat, as is, without any embellishment.

It is difficult to limit my list of favorites to a mere ten, but below is a list of superb strawberry recipes I have found. Enjoy!

1. Strawberry Spinach Salad

2. Strawberry-Avocado Salsa

3. Padre Prawns with Strawberry-Jalapeno Dressing 

4. Chicken-and-Strawberry Salad

5. Zucchini "Pasta" (vegan)

6. Linda's Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

7. Strawberry Shortcake

8. Strawberry Bruschetta

9. Strawberry-Mint Sparkling Limeade 

10. Chocolate Covered Strawberries
