4 Ingredient Strawberry Basil Salad with Honey and Bee Propolis

Some recipes barely qualify as recipes, which is usually a good sign.

This strawberry basil salad comes together with just four ingredients and feels exactly like the kind of thing summer should give us more of. Sweet strawberries from Frecker Farms, fragrant basil, a little Bill's Bee's honey, and bee propolis for a finishing touch that feels special without making anything complicated.

It is fresh, simple, and good enough to bring out when you want something beautiful with almost no effort.

What you need

• fresh strawberries
• fresh basil 
• Bill's Bee's honey
• bee propolis

How to make it

Slice or halve the strawberries, depending on their size.

Tear or thinly slice the basil and scatter it over the fruit.

Drizzle with honey.

Finish with bee propolis and serve right away.

A few notes

The best version of this is the one that keeps things simple. Use ripe strawberries, fresh basil, and just enough honey to bring everything together.

You can serve it as a light afternoon dish, a not too sweet dessert, or part of a summer spread alongside yogurt, cheese, or good bread.

This is also one of those recipes that works because the ingredients are doing all the talking. When produce is in season, you really do not need much more.

Summer, the easy way

We love recipes like this because they remind us that good food does not always need a long ingredient list. Sometimes four things are enough, especially in the middle of strawberry season.

If you are building a summer table, start with ingredients that already know how to shine.
