I’ll admit, our local coop makes an amazing pesto with cashews and pine nuts that I can’t quite recreate at home so I use it as our house pesto. Go ahead and use your favorite too! Take that semi-homemade theme and run with. I like to trim the top off the strawberries, then slice them horizontally to make a round shape that mimics the mozzarella. It makes for the perfect bite. There are only three ingredients to this tomato-less caprese: sweet and juicy California Giant Strawberries, fresh mozzarella, and that herbalicious coating. The combination is stellar, and perfect for sharing at an outdoor barbecue, pool party, or a cabin getaway. Healthy snacking never looked so good.  [Find the recipe here!](http://heartbeetkitchen.com/2016/recipes/seasonal/summer-seasonal/strawberry-pesto-caprese-salad/) ![strawberry caprese salad with pesto](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz_Blog_1-1.jpg?width=720&name=Buzz_Blog_1-1.jpg "Buzz_Blog_1-1.jpg") ![strawberry caprese salad with pesto](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz_Blog_2-1.jpg?width=720&name=Buzz_Blog_2-1.jpg "Buzz_Blog_2-1.jpg") ![strawberry caprese salad with pesto](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/21.png?width=720&height=480&name=21.png) Tags [Strawberry](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/topic/strawberry), [low calorie](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/topic/low-calorie), Posts you might enjoy... ![](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled_design_24-1.png?width=350&name=Untitled_design_24-1.png) [TRENDING COCKTAIL: Blackberry Bourbon Cider](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/blackberry-bourbon-cider) ![](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1-Feb-18-2025-06-00-28-5376-PM.png?width=350&name=1-Feb-18-2025-06-00-28-5376-PM.png) [Celebrate National Strawberry Month with Our Most-Loved Strawberry Recipes!](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/celebrate-national-strawberry-day-with-our-most-loved-strawberry-recipes) ![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/YQfX2CXLh90KVs3Cdb7rGvSoMlASqrf_soD4kMUeK3vhGB7bBjeey2suamLAKyNPF7B17jGBYfi9E6-5zurOLCZa9oix1b1p0XanvRaaTGmEGqEngD2unsX2yGwhSB10lgv3VSmD) [Holiday Gestures of Gratitude](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/holiday-gestures-of-gratitude) You might also enjoy...
