Some weekends are busier than others. I am having one of those, so I have updated a post from last year that was particularly popular. 20 recipes in all, with 6 new for 2022.

I enjoy the flavor of strawberries, but never have been a fan of the "mouth feel" of this pretty fruit. They are in season now, and there is so much that one can do with this juicy fruit. The first thing to know is that you should buy "organic" strawberries. Please read this article here. After doing that, make any one of these 20 special recipes, and enjoy one of the best fruits of summer.
Fresh Strawberry Mojito
A light and refreshing cocktail. Summer in a glass!
Strawberry Caprese Salad
If you make this recipe, Instagram it! Isn't it beautiful? It's said that the quality of your ingredients will make or break this dish. That's my motto with everything I cook. The twist here is using Burrata cheese instead of mozzarella.
Strawberry Balsamic Glazed Baked Salmon Salad
The first of two salmon dishes cooked with strawberries. It's a magical combination. Salmon takes to sauces so easily.
Strawberry Coconut Mojitos Yes please! What a refreshing looking cocktail. Make this your Summer signature drink.
Salmon Strawberry Panzanella Salad
Is this salad not a vision of healthy pleasures? The ingredient list is amazing! The Goat Cheese Vinaigrette is a new idea to me, and one that I will be trying asap!
Baked Strawberry and Cream Stuffed Croissant French Toast
Here is your perfect bake ahead brunch dish. I have done a version of this, and have often stuffed french toast with sweetened cream cheese. DE-licioius!
Strawberry Pasta With Pecorino
Crazy or just very interesting? I say the latter. It's quite healthy and made with San Marzano crushed tomatoes and strawberries.
No Bake Strawberry Mascarpone Tart
With only a handful of ingredients, this recipe comes together quickly. The filling is almond flavored, which sounds ever so yummy!
Fully Loaded Strawberry Focaccia
I love focaccia bread, mainly for the way it looks. I also can just pick off the toppings and leave the bread alone. This recipe features strawberries, goat cheese, balsamic vinegar, fresh basil, and more, all in one perfect bite.
Strawberry Coconut Cake
Isn't this beautiful? The recipe starts out as a cake mix, so any one of us could make it. Strawberries and coconut are a delicious duo.
Slippery When Wet Cocktail
"If you have a bottle of gin on hand, everything else you need for this drink is probably already in your fridge. This fragrant and refreshing drink has a secret ingredient: a dollop of unsweetened Greek yogurt, which gives the cocktail a tangy flavor and subtly creamy texture."
Strawberry Balsamic Shortcakes These certainly aren't what my Mom served us. Did you have those little preformed sponge cakes when you were a child? This cake is homemade and is made with olive oil and whole wheat. That plays well with the balsamic glaze.
Strawberry, Basil, Bacon, and Brie Chicken Burgers
Strawberries and Brie go together like PB & J. Add chicken which always goes with bacon, and you have a real flavor combo. This burger is beautiful!
No Bake Strawberry TrifleHere's an easy recipe that's just perfect for summer get togethers. I love the idea of individual servings, too. These all lined up on a tray would be delightful.
Spicy Strawberry Watermelon Gazpacho
Summer Strawberry Spinach Salad with Avocado This salad has got to be the sweetest salad with a taste that is crunchy, creamy, and tangy. I would eat this every day.
Strawberry Balsamic Creme Fraîche Cheesecake
The secret sauce to this recipe is that the strawberries are simmered in Balsamic and there is a bit of black peppercorn in the graham cracker crust. How interesting!
Fresh Strawberry Frosting
Who needs cake when you can have a cup of frosting? This recipe must be so good. You make it with cream cheese, butter and pureed fresh strawberries. Buy an angel food cake and you have dessert!The View From Great Island
Strawberry Salsa
A fresh, delicious, and totally addictive recipe! It makes a great appetizer for parties and picnics and tastes amazing over shrimp, chicken, fish, salads, tacos, and so much more! This can be your new summer sauce for everything!
Peas and Crayons
Don't these sound and look good? What a simple idea, yet I have never done it. Just marinate the strawberries in your favorite alcohol and roll in sugar. Could anything be more lovely on a warm summer day.
The products under investigation are fresh, organic strawberries branded as FreshKampo and HEB that were on store shelves between March 5 and April 25, 2022.
