Strawberry recipes | 382 strawberry recipes. Nothing can match the goodness, taste or freshness of season’s fruits and vegetables. While most seasonal fruits like mangoes and strawberries are now found all around the year, there is a different joy in ripe and juicy in-season fruits.
Strawberries are the most popular form of berries that are in season from November end till February. They are red in color and have an irresistible aroma. Whether you toss them in a salad or cook them in sugar to make a jam or simply whip up a strawberry milkshake, they blend together very well with other flavors.
Strawberries are chock-full of phytonutrients. They are a rich source of potassium and magnesium, antioxidants, vitamin C, dietary fiber and iodine. While buying strawberries, ensure the berries are firm, plump and free of mould. They should have a shiny, deep red color with the green cap-like stem still attached to it.

Recipes using strawberry in salads
Strawberry rocket salad with a combination of sweet strawberries and bittersweet rocket (arugula) leaves is a flavorful, light salad. Also, the Strawberry Spinach Salad in a tangy dressing creates perfect harmony in this simple salad. Roasted sesame and poppy seeds and crunchy blanched almond slivers add a rich crunch to the salad.
Fruit and Lettuce Salad is not only a visual delight but also, bountiful of nutrients like vitamin A and C, which act as antioxidants.
