Strawberry Basil Salad

This fresh, summer Strawberry Basil Salad is the perfect light lunch or side salad for a summer dinner with friends! In addition, the recipe can easily be halved, doubled, or even tripled depending on how much Strawberry Basil Salad you want to make!

The strawberry basil combination, while it might sound weird to some, is a delicious combination of bitter and sweet. The deep herbal flavor of the fresh basil, perfectly complements the sharp, sweet taste of the strawberries! This unique ingredient combination can be found in desserts, beverages, sandwiches, and more, so give my Strawberry Basil Salad a try!
