STRAWBERRY CAPRESE PORTS
Summertime is upon us, and while the heat can be a little much at times- we are living up these long days! Summer to us means beach trips, snow cones, river floats, and the occasional mosquito bite. When we think of summer food- we think colorful, fruity, and fun! That got us thinking about how to incorporate some fruit into our mushroom recipes. We used our love for traditional Caprese salads, paired with some summer inspiration, to come up with this unique recipe. Who would've guessed that mushrooms and strawberries would be a match made in heaven?!
