If you’re counting calories, this is not the dish for you. If you are in need of some delicious, stick-to-your-bones, carb-loving comfort food, then read on, my friends.

I decided that we needed some comfort food.

Here are the summer strawberry recipes I created. Good morning friends! Today, I'm excited to share a summer themed week of recipes. Last week, I decided to make a full work week's worth of strawberry themed recipes (Monday - Friday).

Plus, they are one of my all-time favorites and, in my opinion, one of the most versatile fruits.

This is a delicious vinaigrette made with fresh strawberries, poppy seeds, and tangy white balsamic vinegar. Summer is a great time to indulge in all things fresh, especially salads, since the produce is at its finest. Fresh berries are my absolute favorite during the summer and strawberries start the season off on the right foot! This strawberry poppy seed vinaigrette makes use of two of favorite things: fresh strawberries and salads.
