Healthy Meal Recipes: Strawberry Salads

Strawberries are among the tastiest of fruits. They're sweet and make for an excellent treat on their own. But within this small berry, there lie many benefits and a versatility that makes it a great addition to just about any healthy meal recipes that you can serve. A single cup of strawberries result in astounding health benefits. Within this small berry, there are large quantities of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that are needed to ensure quality health and ongoing wellness. One benefit is that it helps ensure good healthy digestion with valuable dietary fiber. In addition to vitamin C, antioxidants known as phenols help to remove toxins from the body. They also contain the mineral, manganese, which is used to not only detoxify the body, but decrease cellular inflammation and oxidation, which are often causes of heart disease. Manganese, vitamin K, and the potassium found in strawberries also help ensure proper bone growth and continuing health throughout life. Strawberries are renowned for their ability to inhibit the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX) which affects those suffering from arthritis, asthma, and other inflammatory issues in the body. While small in size, these tiny fruits can make a huge difference in our daily lives.

But, the benefits aren't just in health, they're tasty as well. Strawberries are famous for their incorporation into pies and desserts like Strawberry shortcake and Strawberry lemon pie. Even cold desserts, like strawberry and yogurt, and other parfait desserts that don't require any baking or cooking, make for an increasingly tasty dessert table. But, did you know that chicken and strawberry salads are another way to enjoy a main course? That makes for a healthy treat for your mouth and body. There's even the tasty strawberry and avocado salsa that can make for an excellent dip at your next party or event.

Famous classics would have to incorporate the favorite strawberry daiquiri, whether or not alcohol is involved. Strawberry ice cream is a familiar treat to many children, as well as the strawberry jam which makes for a great addition to sandwiches and salads or just about anything you want to sweeten up.

Preparing an assortment of the many sides of strawberries can take some time, and not everybody preparing for their next event will be able to focus on preparing and taking advantage of the many recipes that a strawberry can offer.
