Most assuredly a unique dessert that will refresh your palate on a hot summer afternoon! Recipe from a Central American magazine called Mucho Gusto with a wonderful collection of soups. I'm obsessed... NOTE: time does not include overnight refrigeration, so you'll need to plan ahead!!! Ingredients:
2 lbs fresh strawberries, washed & stemmed |
1/4 white onion, minced |
1/4 red pepper, minced |
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and cubed |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
salt |
pepper |
6 strawberries, whole |
Directions:
1. Place all the soup ingredients in a large glass bowl.
2. With clean hands, gently squeeze the ingredients and combine thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
4. When ready to serve, pour cold mixture into a blender container and puree thoroughly. This may have to be done in batches.
5. Serve in pretty glass cups and garnish rim with a whole strawberry.
