Chill the outside heat-wave sear. Strawberries are to the rescue. It’s called a Strawberry Daiquiri. For a standard size 7 cup blender, add 2 cups of ice (then crush). Then, add 6 oz. of light rum, 4 oz. of simple syrup, 3 oz. of lime juice and 3 cups of fresh strawberries (prepared). – Blend away the outside temperature. Those huge red berries, bursting with summer flavor, also make the most flavorful salad dressing for a sunshine salad.
Strawberry Vinaigrette: In a food processor, add 2 cups of fresh strawberries (with the green sepal removed), 1/4 cup of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of salad vinegar, 1/4 cup of cream and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Blend thoroughly. Chill and serve the Strawberry Vinaigrette over the salad selection. Top with whole fresh strawberries. So, relax and sink into the strawberry melancholy moment. It is all so berry-soothing! © Kelly McBride Loft
