1. Roasted Strawberry Ricotta Toast

Move over avocado toast, there’s a new kid in town. While it takes a little more effort than simply smashing an avocado on toast, there’s something just so dreamy about roasted strawberries paired with creamy fresh ricotta. We love the fresh basil on this, too.

2. Strawberry Salad with Balsamic

Just when you thought you couldn’t love a Caprese salad more. This sweeter take hits all the marks, with strawberries, mozzarella, avocado, tomatoes, toasted pecans, basil, and balsamic vinegar. So refreshing and flavorful, this dish would make a memorable summer BBQ side.

3. Strawberry Salsa

Think salsa has to be tomato-based? Made with fresh strawberries, cucumber, red onion, and basil, this salsa goes great on top of yogurt or ice cream, alongside meat or fish, or even as a dip with tortilla chips.

5. Strawberry Basil Focaccia

This focaccia recipe with sliced strawberries, loads of basil, caramelized onions, and balsamic vinegar has us drooling. It’s as delicious as it is beautiful. Swap in white whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose to add more fiber and nutrients, if you like.

6. Roasted Red Pepper and Strawberry Gazpacho

This light and refreshing chilled soup features roasted red peppers and strawberries instead of the traditional tomatoes. Make the croutons in the recipe, or top it with chopped avocado and radishes. It’s a perfect starter for a grilled meal.
