Perfect when you come home from a long tiring day at work and are too exhausted to cook that big meal. This dish can be served as an appetizer or as a dessert. The strawberry and lemon salad is completely refreshing with a balance of flavors that will surprise your palate: bitter, sweet and acid. The lemon peel is cut into thin strips and heated in sweet sugar syrup, then used to garnish the strawberry slices. Lemon sauce is poured into the dish and a sprig of mint is used to decorate and add a fresh flavor. It’s also served with lemon sorbet balls, making it ultra-invigorating. Add pieces of Macaroni at the end of the recipe, which has already been prepared previously. You can also buy macaroons at a bakery, create your own, or substitute other similar pastries.
