One of my favorite scents from Victoria's Secret...Strawberries and Champagne. Yum.
And how do y'all feel about strawberry chicken salad?!?! Sounds delicious right? I think I'm going to have to try out this recipe very soon.

2 teaspoons lime juice
3/4 teaspoon grated lime peel
3/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, celery and onion. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chutney, lime juice, lime peel, curry and salt. Add to chicken mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Just before serving, stir in strawberries. Serve on lettuce-lined plates. Yield: 4 servings.

Strawberry Chicken Salad published in Healthy Cooking April/May 2008
I've been and ''picked my own'' a fair few times. (Strawberries that is!) It's good fun; you tend to eat more than you actually buy, although I'm fairly sure that they take into account that fact when they decide what price to charge you, lol!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I'm not a fan of strawberry wine, but I do throw strawberries into a lot of the salad's I make, they're lovely.
Love all of your strawberry images, and your recipe! So yummy! As for picking strawberries, I want to try it sometime too. I know W would love to go, she loves strawberries too. I'd have to get her a throw-away dress because I know she'd stain it all over if we went. But that's part of the fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that song, but I've never had strawberry wine. Sad! I've gone and picked strawberries a couple of times, and it is pretty fun. I like to pretend I'm a pioneer woman living off the land ;)
ReplyDeleteYum! I'm making that chicken salad this weekend. We passed a strawberry field on our way back home from our trip this past weekend, but no one else wanted to stop but me. I'm totally with you. I've never picked them, but it sounds like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for the flashback to 9th grade. I used to lock myself in the bathroom and take bubble baths (most likely with Strawberries and Champagne from VS) listening to that song over and over. Haha!
I took Colin strawberry pickin' last year and it actually was a lot of fun. We're actually talking about going this weekend. The taste is second to none so the effort is definitely worth it!
ReplyDeleteI am loving loving this post! Strawberries are my favorite fruit! I too am stealing the recipe for Strawberry Chicken Salad! It sounds yum-o!!
ReplyDeleteYummy! I LOVE strawberries... especially when dipped in chocolate or floating in my champagne... ;)
ReplyDeleteI just had some fresh strawberries for breakfast. So good! My favorite is chocolate covered staweberries!

That necklace is soooo beautiful! I want it!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Pink Champagne, there is nothing better than a little straberry floating in my champagne! How fabulous!
Have a great Thursday! SATC2 tonight!!!!!
I have never gone strawberry picking, but my mom & I are going blueberry picking soon, when the farms open!
ReplyDeleteAnd you can go to pickyourown.org and find a strawberry "u pick" place near you! :)
I'm lovin' that F21 necklace!! Bet it's only like 5 bucks too! Do you remember when LV had their strawberry necklaces? I think those were something like 500 bucks! I'll stick with the F21 one ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the necklace you posted! I'm obsessed with fresh strawberries right now too. And strawberry shortcake! Yum! Now I'm hungry...
