It’s prime strawberry season! I’ve been playing around the past few weeks with bringing strawberries into savory dishes, and finally I can say that I’ve found a winner. Crunchy radishes and creamy avocado help ground the sweet strawberries in something a bit more satiating. Top it all with tangy feta, mint, and a balsamic sumac pistachio dressing for a perfect warm weather treat. No pans, just a bit of chopping and you will have this on your table in no time!
Tips:
- Opt for feta in blocks, its always fresher and tastier than the pre-crumbled stuff.
