Strawberries are sprouting and now's the time to make this mouth-watering spring salad.
This recipe is the perfect salad for summer, as the pepper brings out the sweetness of the strawberries, giving a great balance in this blue cheese salad with the peppery rocket and the salty tang and creaminess of the cheese. This recipe also includes a balsamic and white pepper glaze, that pairs perfectly with the rest of the salads ingredients. A great lunch time salad and perfect for gatherings on the weekends this spring.

- 300g strawberries, washed, hulled and cut in half
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
