Fresh Strawberry Salad

Making a fruit salad can be as simple as preparing one or more different fruits and tossing them in a bowl. Marrying strawberries together with lemon verbena in a fruit salad is a perfect match. The mingling of flavors that comes from the fresh fruit and herbs makes it ideal for a hot spring or summer day, or a refreshing dessert that everyone will love.
