I was happily surprised to find fresh strawberries in the CSA box this week. The strawberries are an experiment for our greenhouse and supplies are limited, so I wasn't expecting to get some of the precious strawberries in the middle of winter. They're not quite as amazing as fresh Quebec strawberries in the summer, but I think they have more flavour than the gigantic strawberries I grew up thinking were strawberries. Paired with some delicious CSA box cherry tomatoes, this made an excellent salad.
