Strawberries are in season and who will not get tempted to get this luscious beautiful fruit. The first thing that comes to anyone’s mind seeing strawberry is dessert and I am no definitely I am definitely gonna do some desserts in coming days but this time it’s something savoury. During my recent browsing, came across several recipes with strawberries and ginger. This combination was something I had never tried. But after I did this  Bruschetta with Ricotta and Strawberry Salsa, I was happy that I tried it.

Juicy strawberries, fresh herbs, ginger, the salsa was a winner. Dash of Balsamic vinegar gave the salsa more depth of flavour. This salsa is good as it is. I had some good rustic baguette and it was put into best use in this Bruschettas.It’s refreshing with all fresh herbs,ginger  and a great appetizer for large gathering too.

Ingredients

  

• ▢ 2 cups strawberries Fresh , hulled and sliced
• ▢ 1 Onion small , chopped
• ▢ 1 tbsp Ginger Freshly grated
• ▢ 1 tsp Olive oil
• ▢ ½ cup cilantro Chopped (I used coriander leaves)
• ▢ ¼ cup basil Chopped fresh leaves
• ▢ ¼ cup Mint leaves Chopped fresh
• ▢ 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• ▢ pinch salt a big
• ▢ pinch black peppercorn Fresh crushed a big
• ▢ Dash honey ( optional, the strawberries were bit sour I added it)

For Bruschettas

• ▢ 1 cup ricotta cheese fresh
• ▢ baguette French , cut in to slices

Instructions

• In a big mixing bowl add all the ingredients except strawberries and onion. Mix well.
• Add sliced strawberries and onion. Give it a good mix. Chill it in the refrigerator while preparing the bread.
• On a hot griddle pan toast the baguette slices on both the sides.
• Spread ricotta on each slice and top it with chilled strawberry salsa.

Notes

Note:

1. The strawberries were bit sour ,so I had to use a good dash of honey to bring the balance. If the strawberries are sweet then skip honey and add a dash of lemon juice.

2. Try not to keep the salsa for too long as strawberries release a lot of water and it will loos the texture and crunch.
