A delightful combination of fresh strawberries and creamy goodness, this salad is a perfect blend of sweet and tangy flavors, ideal for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly and hull them. Slice them into halves or quarters depending on your preference. Place them in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract gradually while continuing to whip until the cream is thick and holds stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the sliced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Drizzle lemon juice over the salad and gently toss to combine. The lemon juice adds a refreshing tanginess and helps prevent the strawberries from browning.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual serving bowls. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and extra freshness if desired.
- Serve immediately as a light and refreshing dessert or side dish. Enjoy the delightful combination of sweet strawberries and creamy goodness!
