When the strawberries come in season I can’t wait to makes a few recipes with them. In the past I’ve made a strawberry caprese salad and more recently low carb chocolate strawberry treats, so I can appreciate these red, juicy berries as much as anyone.

I got the idea to mix strawberries with mint, while watering the vast amount of mint in my garden. Turns out it was a great pairing. This easy strawberry mint salad recipe is so fresh and delicious. It’s the perfect quick and easy summer side dish or even as a lunch.

Using Fresh Strawberries

I got these cute little strawberries above from the farmer’s market. They are from a fantastic farm close to me called Triple B Berry Farm and if you are ever in the area, I would highly recommend you check then out.

They have so many children’s activities year round and a great selection of fruit and produce. Next to the strawberries is a sprig of my peppermint plant. I love cooking with fresh herbs, especially those from my garden, and I’ve used some of my parsley too.

Making This Easy Strawberry Mint Bean Salad

I used canned cannellini beans today because I told you this was a quick and easy recipe. The dressing is simply oil and vinegar and of course garlic.

So add everything to your bowl, pour your dressing, mix and eat. The sweet, tart strawberries with the cool, green mint go perfectly with the starchy beans and the bite of a red onion.

Another nice thing about this recipe is that you can use just about any fruit that is season. Next time I’m trying peaches or even blueberries. Well I hope you like this quick and easy summer side salad. Remember it’s hearty enough to eat as a lunch too!
