Simple Strawberry Salad

I know this may the most simple looking salad you've ever seen, but isn't that amazing? A recipe you can make in under 5 minutes? This is my Simple Strawberry Salad and it's a salad you can make for breakfast, lunch, or dinner for an easy source of fiber and color. I know it can be boring and not so motivating to enjoy fruit, I get it. So, I wanted to give you a recipe you could rely on when you want to get color into your day.

All you need to make it is strawberries, lime juice, fresh mint, sea salt, and honey. You can make this on the side of eggs and toast in the morning, you can pair it with a fish for lunch, or you can simply enjoy it alone as a delicious high fiber snack. Having one bowl of this provides your body with roughly 7 grams of fiber, you can't go wrong. Whether you serve them over yogurt, oats, chia pudding, or straight from the bowl—this is the kind of recipe that tastes fancy but takes five minutes flat.

It's a simple way to elevate your strawberries with just a few pantry staples. If you decide on having friends over, you can also make a bigger batch and serve it as the perfectly sweet side dish. Let me show you how to make it.

FAQ

1. Can I use frozen strawberries?: Fresh is best for this recipe, but if using frozen, thaw them fully and drain any excess liquid. They’ll be softer and a bit messier, but still delicious.

2. How long can I store the strawberries?: They’re best fresh, but you can store them in the fridge for up to 1 day. The texture will soften the longer they sit.

   
   

Recipe Notes

• Salt is key: That tiny pinch isn’t optional—it enhances the natural flavor of the strawberries.

• Let it sit: 5–10 minutes of marination makes the berries juicier and more flavorful.

• Add-ins: Want to level it up? Add orange zest, cracked black pepper, or even a splash of vanilla.
