It seems so simple, but just like pairing a nice wine with dinner, the right combination goes a long way for our taste buds. In this very simple recipe, strawberry and basil compliment each other nicely to provide a solid dose of vitamin c from the strawberries and loads of extra vitamins from the lemon. Lemon juice keeps everything nice and fresh if you want to set it down at your next party. I know it’s simple, but sometimes we can all use a good reminder of the perfect pair…especially during the summer. Enjoy!
