Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Follow along with ease! Watching the video all the way through once, and then referring to the pictures as you cook, will make the process much smoother and more skillful. Even beginners can follow along confidently!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the dressing for the strawberry salad. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of tangerine syrup, 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of ground black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined. The sweetness from the tangerine syrup and the zestiness of the lemon juice create a perfect dressing that will awaken your appetite.
Step 3
Next, we’ll prepare the salad ingredients. Place 100g of mixed baby greens, washed and thoroughly dried, into a large bowl. These fresh greens will add a wonderful texture to your salad.
Step 4
Prepare the fresh strawberries by removing the stems and quartering them into bite-sized pieces. The natural sweetness and tanginess of the strawberries will elevate the salad’s flavor. Wash 10 blueberries and have them ready as well.
Step 5
Gently add the prepared strawberries and blueberries to the bowl with the baby greens. The vibrant colors of the fruits mixed with the greens make it look incredibly appetizing, don’t you think?
Step 6
Tear or slice 1/2 string cheese into easy-to-eat pieces. The creamy texture of the cheese will create a fantastic harmony with the fresh, tangy fruits.
Step 7
Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the salad. After adding the dressing, gently toss the salad to avoid bruising the ingredients. It’s important to preserve the fresh, natural flavors of the ingredients.
Step 8
Now, let’s make the strawberry bruschetta! Slice 5 baguette pieces to about 1.5cm thickness. Uniform slices ensure even toasting and a more appealing presentation.
Step 9
Lightly brush the top of each baguette slice with olive oil. This step will help the bread become wonderfully crispy and add extra flavor. Toast them until golden brown, either in an oven or on a pan.
Step 10
Spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese (40g) onto the toasted baguette slices. The creaminess of the cheese will complement the crispiness of the bread, adding depth to the overall flavor.
Step 11
Arrange the finely chopped fresh strawberries (7 pieces) and the washed blueberries (8 pieces) beautifully on top of the cream cheese. Using plenty of fruit will enhance both the visual appeal and the taste.
Step 12
Drizzle a little honey over the top, according to your preference. The sweetness of the honey will further enhance the flavors of the strawberries and cream cheese. Be mindful of the amount to avoid making it too sweet.
Step 13
Finally, garnish with a few baby greens. The fresh green color against the vibrant fruits creates a visually appealing and delicious bruschetta.
Step 14
