Whether you pluck them from the warm soils of your home garden, pick them up from your local CSA (community-supported agriculture), or grab a pint from your local grocery store, these ripe, red berries make a delicious addition to some of our favorite sweet and savory recipes. Check out these strawberry recipes for tips on what to do with fresh strawberries. 01 of 15 Chicken and Strawberry Panzanella View Recipe Jason Donnelly This fresh twist on a classic Tuscan bread salad recipe features bright bursts of juicy strawberries and comes together in just 25 minutes. Day-old bread is the best for sopping up the sweet juices of this strawberry recipe, but a fresh baguette works just fine as well. Make sure to save those bones from the rotisserie chicken to create a delicious chicken stock! 02 of 15 Strawberry-Ginger Limeade Freezer Jam View Recipe Carson Downing This tangy strawberry jam is the perfect compliment to any savory or strawberry dessert recipe you might whip up. Although making jam can be labor intensive, this freezer jam makes five ½ pints that can be stored in the freezer for up to a year. 03 of 15 Spicy Fruit Salad View Recipe Blaine Moats Be careful, this strawberry salad recipe brings the heat! Layer together romaine lettuce, arugula, mangoes, fresh strawberries, and jicama, then top with a zippy, zesty homemade dressing. If you really want to feel the burn, top with a few sliced jalapeño peppers or add an extra sprinkle of chili powder to the dressing. Don't stress about that long start to finish time, it's just chilling time for flavors to meld. You'll only need about a half hour in the kitchen. 04 of 15 Parmesan-Stuffed Chicken and Melted Strawberries View Recipe Andy Lyons OK, these strawberries aren't quite melted. Baking them alongside Parmesan—and basil—stuffed chicken does make them extra tender and delicious though! The cheesy chicken combined with the sweetness of the strawberries makes a completely delectable strawberry dinner idea that's not too bad health-wise, either. 05 of 15 Good and Healthy Strawberry Shortcake View Recipe Andy Lyons Summer's favorite dessert just got lighter! Not only does this fresh strawberry dessert come together in just 45 minutes, but it cuts down on sugar, fat, and calories by swapping cream for low-fat yogurt and mixing in whole wheat flour. You'll need six cups of fresh strawberries for this strawberry shortcake recipe, where they're sliced and placed beneath a bed of homemade yogurt cream. 06 of 15 Strawberry Salad with Feta, Arugula, and Pickled Red Onions View Recipe Carson Downing This is one of those strawberry recipes that you'll want to have in rotation all summer long. Sweet strawberries meet peppery arugula, fresh mint and parsley and then topped with tangy pickled onions and creamy feta. It makes the perfect side dish for a barbecue or potluck. 07 of 15 Strawberry Crumble Scones View Recipe Carson Downing Serve these strawberry-filled scones for brunch or turn them into a super simple strawberry shortcake recipe and devour them for dessert. No matter how you slice it, these scones are a textural delight with a streusel topping of oats, walnuts, brown sugar and cinnamon. 08 of 15 Strawberries and Cream Pancakes View Recipe Jason Donnelly Flipping these strawberry pancakes onto your plate is a surefire way to start your morning off right. Use a mixture of whole wheat pastry flour and oat flour with a sprinkle of chia seeds to make breakfast a little healthier (no box mix here!), then top with fresh strawberries and whipped Greek creamed cheese. Trust us, you won't miss the maple syrup. 09 of 15 Watermelon Berry Limeade View Recipe Andy Lyons Equal parts strawberries and chopped watermelon are the only sweetener this refreshing strawberry drink recipe needs. Add the fruit along with a splash of coconut water and some lime juice to a blender with ice and then let this thirst-quenching drink take it from there. Serve it alone as a mocktail or add your favorite spirit for a fruit-forward cocktail. 10 of 15 Mojito Berries View Recipe Andy Lyons If you want a dessert that's all about the berries, then this easy strawberry recipe is for you! Mimic a tall, icy mojito by rolling strawberries in a mix of honey and lime juice, then sprinkling them with mint leaves and a touch of sugar. That's it! It's much simpler than a full-blown mojito but just as refreshing (and a little healthier, too!). 11 of 15 Strawberry and Arugula Salad with Manchego Fricos View Recipe Andy Lyons Like any salad recipe, this dish has plenty of fresh ingredients (three whole cups of strawberries, plus plenty of baby arugula). But this strawberry salad recipe has something that a lot of salads don't—homemade cheese crisps! Start with Manchego cheese, then crisp it up in a skillet to use as a salad topper. It's a great way to add a taste of indulgence to a super-healthy side. 12 of 15 Honey Fruit Salad View Recipe Blaine Moats It's no secret—fruit salad is one of our favorite ways to enjoy fresh-picked strawberries. Serve your berries alongside a medley of other berries, grapes, and apples and stir together an easy honey-orange dressing to drizzle on top. 13 of 15 Roasted Strawberry Frozen Yogurt View Recipe Carson Downing Add some depth to this strawberry dessert recipe by roasting the strawberries before adding them to the frozen yogurt mixture. Throw a little freeze dried strawberries or pretzels on top for a little crunch. 14 of 15 Eton Mess with Strawberries & Whipped Ricotta View Recipe Carson Downing Elevate this classic layered English dessert with macerated strawberries and vanilla bean-flecked whipped ricotta. Using store-bought meringue cookies will speed up this strawberry dessert recipe. 15 of 15 Grilled Strawberry Salsa Fresca View Recipe Carson Downing This strawberry recipe puts a creative twist on your typical salsa fresca. Grill up your strawberries, onion, jalapeno and garlic. Let it chill before you chop up and combine with cilantro, lime juice and salt. Serve it with tortilla chips, put it in tacos, or serve with grilled chicken or shrimp. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
