I
absolutely love strawberries with fresh basil the two flavors are
really made to go together. If you haven't tried the combination be
sure to give it a try. I even sometimes add basil to my strawberries
in strawberry shortcake too.
The
spread for this snack can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for
a few days. Just spread as many crackers as you need at a time and
top with the fresh strawberry halves.
These
make a great little snack for adults or kids or would go wonderfully
on an appetizer tray too. They are savory but slightly sweet at the
same time because of the fresh berry. And they are so pretty too, as
you can see from the photo.
I
usually get about enough spread for 18 crackers but that will vary
depending on how generous you are when you spread the crackers.
Although
I have only tried this with strawberries, I am thinking it would be
really good with blue berries too. I'll have try that next time.
