One of the many healthful secrets we learned on our  recent
cooking tour to Italy --Recipes for Living: An Italian
Adventure in Mindful, Exquisite Eating -- was how to use
the best and freshest ingredients to make wonderful but healthy
meals. Whether it's Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, balsamic vinegar
made in the traditional way, or the fresh produce of in season,
Italian chefs know that the natural flavors of the finest
ingredients are about all you need to make great taste. So
when strawberries are in season, it's the favorite dessert
served in Italian homes. You can't beat the great taste, health,
and easy elegance of this simple version of fresh strawberries.
2 cups sliced, fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped mint (optional)
Combine ingredients and let mixture stand about 15 minutes.
Garnish with a mint spring; serve with a cookie, biscotti
or over frozen yogurt.
