When I saw that the first strawberries of the year were available on the market stalls, I almost fainted.
I did not expect to see them for another month and a half, but the winter in France was so warm that it does not surprise me so much.
So, if you are lucky and the strawberries are out in your country as well, I share with you a very reasonable but very surprising recipe of fruit salad. The basil and the strawberries fit wonderfully well together. No need for sugar here! Orange juice is there to break the acidity of the strawberry and bring a little sweetness. I’m sure you’ll be surprised!
