Strawberry Salad with Lemon and Verbena

Here’s my super-simple recipe for lemon-verbena strawberry salad, just the way we make it at home.

It’s a super easy and quick recipe, and very light, since it doesn’t call for any added sugar—just the natural sweetness of the strawberries.

The secret: patience!

In fact, if you prepare this lemon-verbena strawberry salad a little in advance—say, at least an hour—you’ll really notice the difference. The strawberries will have time to release their flavors and natural sugars when they come into contact with the lemon juice, and you won’t need to add any extra sugar.

Another unique touch in this strawberry salad recipe is that I use lemon verbena to add even more flavor.

It’s a plant that’s very easy to grow in the garden or in a planter, and its fragrance pairs beautifully with that of strawberries without overpowering them.

Enjoy, and thank you in advance for your comments!
