Strawberry Cracker Snack

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.
