Fresh Strawberry Pie without Jello is so easy to make from scratch and tastes amazingly flavorful. This pie recipe is perfect for summer because it can be made without turning the oven on.

You can use a store-bought pie crust or a no-bake graham cracker crust as a base (or go the fancy route and make your own pie crust).

This Strawberry Pie is loaded with juicy, fresh strawberries and made with a homemade strawberry glaze without added gelatin that lets the natural flavor of the strawberries be the star.

I have the biggest sweet tooth and love everything with berries but strawberry pie is definitely one of my favorite desserts!

This Fresh Strawberry Pie is the perfect spring and summer dessert made with simple ingredients! Top it with a big dollop of whipped cream and you have an easy dessert that everyone will love!

Helpful Tips to make Fresh Strawberry Pie:

  • I used a homemade pie crust for this recipe but you can also use a Graham Cracker Crust or a store-bought pie crust to save time.
  • For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality strawberries. The strawberries are the star of this recipe so look for the freshest strawberries you can find that don’t have any bruises or discoloration.
  • This pie tastes best on the same day! The longer it sits the higher the risk of the juicy strawberries making the pie crust soggy. To avoid a soggy pie crust you can seal the crust by painting melted chocolate in the bottom and inside of cooled pie crust. Place the crust in the freezer to set the chocolate before adding the berries.
  • Make sure to stir the cornstarch mixture continuously for 2-3 minutes until it is thick and translucent. You don’t want it to be clumpy.
  • This pie won’t be as sturdy because it is made without gelatin but it will not ooze all over after cutting if you keep it refrigerated and serve it straight from the fridge.
  • Don’t forget the whipped cream! Strawberries and cream are a match made in heaven!!

  • Pie Dish - This is my everyday pie dish but if I want to use a fancier one this is my go-to pie dish for guests.
  • Strawberry Huller -  This little tool makes hulling strawberries super easy and it’s safe for kids. It works best on medium and larger strawberries.
  • Hand Mixer -  If you have problems with whipping cream try using a hand mixer. I prefer to use this one instead of my stand mixer to whip cream because I have more control and don’t over-whip the cream.

Enjoy!

Best Ever Strawberry Spinach Salad + VIDEO

This Strawberry Spinach Salad will rock your world! This simple recipe features fresh berries, avocado and candied nuts in the best salad ever.

 This simple recipe features fresh berries Best Ever Strawberry Spinach Salad + VIDEO

Fresh crisp spinach salad is taken to another level with bursts of sweetness from fresh summer strawberries and buttery avocado. It is tossed in a sweet and tangy vinaigrette and topped with crunchy nuts and creamy cheese.

We celebrated the holidays with my husbands family as we usually do this past Christmas. There is always an amazing spread of decadent food, but I have to admit I really look forward to the salads.

Chad is not a big salad eater so I don't usually make fancy salads unless we are having a party or company.

I tend to grab whatever I have in the house and put together a simple salad that will keep for a long time because I am the only one eating it.

 This simple recipe features fresh berries Best Ever Strawberry Spinach Salad + VIDEO

But, I just really love a good salad. A few years ago Chad's sister prepared a delicious one that really knocked my socks off.

It was spinach salad with strawberries, blueberries, avocado and a sun-dried tomato dressing. I am sure there were other ingredients but those really stuck with me.

I must have eaten 4 bowls of it and wished there was more.

Strawberry Spinach Salad Ingredients


So, of course this spring when I started craving strawberry spinach salad all I could think of was how amazing it would be if I added blueberries and avocado.

So, I did and it really sparks up the salad.

The buttery avocado and bright blueberry flavors add so much to this new favorite.

I started thinking about crunchy nuts and creamy cheese. So, I add blue cheese and candied nuts on the top


 This simple recipe features fresh berries Best Ever Strawberry Spinach Salad + VIDEO

This divine recipe all starts with baby spinach and fresh summer berries. Thinly sliced red onions are added to enhance the flavor.

Then it is tossed in a fabulous sweet and tangy vinaigrette and topped with fresh avocado, buttery candied pecans and melt in your mouth blue cheese.

You can use walnuts instead of pecans if you prefer them. Strawberry walnut salad sounds equally delicious!

This spinach salad is so summery and refreshing. It is truly my favorite salad of all time and I can not stop eating it. I hope you feel the same way!

Spinach Salad Recipe Notes

  • I love to snack on the candied pecans and they are great on ice cream. So, I double the candied pecan recipe and save 1/2 for later. The recipe as written will allow about 5 candied pecans per serving.
  • The dressing may solidify in the refrigerator. It is best to allow dressing to sit on the counter. Shake well before using.
  • If you are making the salad ahead. Prep the ingredients and refrigerate. Then dress the salad about 15 minutes before serving. This will help keep the spinach from wilting.
  • Mozzarella, feta or goat cheese are also amazing on this salad.
  • Lighten it up by subbing plain pecans for the candied ones and eliminate the sugar from the dressing.
  • Add sliced grilled chicken for a fabulous summer meal.
Tools for making the best salad ever:

Enjoy!

As I am sure you remember I love my coffee and always have creamer on hand, so it is super convenient to use in my recipes.


You know, grocery shopping is kind of overwhelming sometimes, so I plan as best I can and always go prepared with a list but you always see things that look good and aren't on the list.

I really try to make better choices in what I put in my cart to help eating healthier and once I saw this Simply Pure Coffee Creamer at my local Safeway, I had to pick it up!

April is Earth month and Safeway is celebrating with their Every Cart Counts promotion.

They are living it up with brands that make a impact on our diets and the health of the planet. Simply Pure is one of those brands.

Their creamer is made with real milk, cream and cane sugar!

I have been seeing a lot of great summer berries and I couldn't help myself. I had to grab them and take them home.

I picked up the best looking berries I could find and decided to whip up the cheesecake portion of this simple dish using just my coffee creamer and some cream cheese.

Helpful Tips to make Summer Berry Cheesecake Salad:

  • Do not pour all of the creamer into the cream cheese at once. It will get clumpy and no matter how long you beat it, it will stay that way. Trust me on this one.
  • To make this ahead: prepare the cheesecake mixture and refrigerate in a bowl. Mix all of the fruit in a large bowl and refrigerate. Before serving, drain any excess liquid from the fruit and then fold the cheesecake filling into the fruit. Serve and enjoy!
  • If you have to substitute for the creamer: cream, powdered sugar and vanilla would be the best swap. 1/2 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

What you will need to make Summer Berry Cheesecake Salad:

  • Electric Hand Mixer - I have had this one in my kitchen for ever (it seems like) at least 8 years.

Enjoy!
