Gracianne, oui tu as raison!

Tarzile, ah, tu es drole et c’est la logique fonctionne! Merci pour ton mot!

Ivonne, thanks my dear. Yes very fresh indeed!

Rob, yes it is interesting to hear that you mention the dish might be missing a clearer focus. I however liked its softness, hence decided to substitute olive oil for almond oil. Maybe the olive oil gives a clearer edge. A bowl can be served at my house and the door is open!

Thanks From our kitchen. Hopefully the season will be plentiful soon.

Chubby Hubby, thanks a lot. What a great way to do a courtship. Your wife is a lucky one. I love the vodka touch and will surely try it!

Fabienne, merci! And welcome back!

Paz, a clarification like this is always necessary. Hopefully I won’t forget now that I wrote it!

What an interesting combination! I’d very much like to try this!

Thanks for clarifying the fruit or vegetable debate!

It’s a good idea : tomatoes and strawberries, what flavour !

Wonderful picture and post. This is actually a favorite combination of mine. Early on in my courtship of my wife, I used to make her canapés of cherry tomatoes stuffed with strawberries. I would dice the strawberries and mix them with sugar syrup, mint, a bit of balsamic vinegar and vodka. It was a lovely pick me up.

This whole idea is very interesting and inspiring. Tomatoes as a dessert opens up a whole new world! I’ll have to try this when tomatoes and stawberries are more in season out here.

Bea, I’m not sure what I think of this dish. I think strawberries are versatile enough to stand up to many savoury treatments, but part of me is unsure of this combination. It’s not, I think, that tomatoes are traditionally savoury and strawberries sweet; no, I think it’s more the condiments, which are also a mix of sweet and savoury. What I’m trying to say, is that the tomato/strawberry combination seems fine, but I almost wish the dressing gave the dish a clearer focus. The proof, I guess, is in the pudding, and I would quite eagerly try this before arriving at any conclusions. So, were can I get a bowl?

Tomatoes and strawberries … great idea!

The colour goes together. And I definitely think the flavour goes together.

And I can only imagine how refreshing it is!

Tomates et vanille, c’est bon. Fraises et balsamique, c’est bon. Donc, si on suit la logique, Descartes était Français ne l’oublions pas, les 4 ensemble, çà devrait aussi être bon.

Une belle idée. Dieu que j’ai hâte à l’été.
