In lieu of a traditional Five on Friday and in honor of strawberry season, I thought I would share five favorite {tried and true} strawberry recipes.
1. Strawberry Pretzel Salad - via Brown Eyed Baker
One of my favorite summer "salads" (more like a dessert), this is the
perfect mix of salty and sweet. It's kind of like cheesecake but with a
layer of crushed pretzels on the bottom. I can never figure out how to keep the
strawberry jello mixture from seeping through the cream cheese mixture
and causing soggy-ish pretzels, but it's still delish!

2. Fresh Strawberry Pie - via The Casual Craftlete
Confession: I've never actually used this recipe. I have my own I've used for years so I searched Pinterest until I found the exact recipe! Here it is, only I use a store-bought graham cracker crust, which is a) easier and b) better (in my opinion)!

3. Buttermilk Strawberry Shortcake - via Cook Crave Inspire by Spend with Pennies
Not only is this recipe super quick and easy, it uses buttermilk which makes everything better in my opinion! Don't forget the whipped cream!

4. Spinach Strawberry Salad - via Two Maids a Milking
I've already made this three times this summer and it's always a hit! I do change up the recipe a tad - I use candied pecans instead of walnuts and I add feta cheese. I highly recommend making your own dressing, as suggested in this recipe!

5. Strawberry Bruschetta - via Everything Fabulous
Possibly my favorite of all of these recipes, this strawberry bruschetta is phenomenal! And that says a lot because I'm a total dessert lover! The basil + the goat cheese + balsamic + fresh strawberries = I could eat the entire batch! (And I pretty much did last week!)

Yes! I've been waiting for this post. Love all of the recipes, but I think the strawberry salad is one I need to try ASAP.
ReplyDeleteButtermilk Strawberry Shortcake is a favorite of mine. My girlfriend's aunt has been making it every year for as long as I can remember and while my friend moved away, I still go and have some with her aunt every Memorial Day.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all of these recipes! I'll have to try the shortcake!
ReplyDeleteYummmmm. Those all look amazing. Strawberry shortcake is my fave!
ReplyDeleteThese all look delicious! Nothing says summer like strawberries!
ReplyDeleteYumm!! Think I need to go get some more strawberries this weekend. My birthday cake of choice is always angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream but I might need to try one of these other sweet treats.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness these all look amazing! I've never really made anything with strawberries, that needs to change this summer!
