Brighten up your springtime recipes with one of the freshest fruits of the season. We love strawberries to add the perfect bite of sweetness to savory dishes, such as spinach salads and grilled meat. Strawberries shine in a variety desserts from no-bake pies to rhubarb trifles. From weeknight dinners to celebratory occasions, these springtime strawberry dishes embrace all the flavors of the warm season.

You can buy strawberry puree or make it yourself: Blend 16 ounces thawed frozen strawberries in a food processor. Strain through a fine sieve; discard seeds. Serve Mike DeCamp's (executive chef at Monello and Constantine) refreshing punch with or without alcohol.

We give the gin rickey—a classic warm-weather cocktail—a seasonal twist with an infusion of ripe strawberries. Full fruit flavor balanced by bracing gin and spritzy soda water is a tasty way to ring in spring.

Chicken Cutlets With Strawberry-Avocado Salsa

View Recipe: Chicken Cutlets With Strawberry-Avocado Salsa

This colorful, flavor-forward dish makes the most of peak-season produce with a sweet and tangy fruit salsa that would be equally delicious served over pork chops or with whole-grain tortilla chips. The heat from the seeded jalapeño is mild, but it can be omitted. To round out your plate, try serving the chicken and salsa over a bed of rice or with a simple side salad.

Strawberry Tart With Quinoa-Almond Crust

View Recipe: Strawberry Tart With Quinoa-Almond Crust

Chef Khalil Hymore introduced us to the idea of a crunchy quinoa crust with a savory tart he developed for us; we take the notion to a sweet place here. The tart holds well overnight, so make it the day before, and serve chilled right from the refrigerator.

Grilled Lamb Chops with Wheat Berry, Strawberry, and Lacinato Kale Salad

View Recipe: Grilled Lamb Chops with Wheat Berry, Strawberry, and Lacinato Kale Salad

Lacinato kale, often called dinosaur kale because of its crinkled, bumpy texture, grows year-round in the Pacific Northwest. Massaging the leaves with your hands tenderizes them and tones down their bitter edge, which is a little more pronounced with summer harvests.

Fruit adds sweetness to this refreshing drink. If you wish, substitute raspberries for the strawberries, or drop in a sprig of lemon verbena to boost the aromatic citrus.
