Ingredients
- 1 pack Stonecrop (Sedum sarmentosum), about 100g
- 1 cup Strawberries, about 150g
- Balsamic glaze (optional, for added richness)
Strawberry Dressing
- 1 container Plain Yogurt (about 100g)
- 5-6 Strawberries (about 50g)
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 Tbsp Honey (or corn syrup, adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp – 1/2 Tbsp Lemon Juice (for fresh flavor)
- A pinch of Salt (to balance flavors)
- 1 container Plain Yogurt (about 100g)
- 5-6 Strawberries (about 50g)
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 Tbsp Honey (or corn syrup, adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp – 1/2 Tbsp Lemon Juice (for fresh flavor)
- A pinch of Salt (to balance flavors)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the delicious strawberry yogurt dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine 5-6 fresh strawberries (washed and hulled), 1 container of plain yogurt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 tablespoon of honey (or corn syrup), 1 to 1/2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have a blender, you can mash the strawberries finely in a bowl and then whisk in the other ingredients until well combined. Chill the dressing in the refrigerator while you prepare the salad.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the salad components. Thoroughly wash the stonecrop under cold running water, removing any dirt. Drain it well in a colander. Wash the strawberries, remove the green tops, and cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 2-4 wedges each, depending on their size.
Step 4
Arrange the cleaned stonecrop attractively on a serving plate. Scatter the prepared strawberry pieces over the stonecrop, creating a visually appealing presentation. Drizzle the chilled strawberry yogurt dressing evenly over the salad.
Step 5
For an extra layer of flavor, finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. This will add a delightful sweet and tangy contrast to the salad. Serve immediately and enjoy this healthy and refreshing Stonecrop and Strawberry Salad!
