Dressing plays a major role in this salad. Tomatoes are also required, but strawberries can be replaced with peaches, apricots, plums or currants.
For dressing, remove the stalk and central “vein” from the lime leaves, finely chop the rest.
Put the chopped leaves in a blender, pour in the oil, grind until smooth. Add all other dressing ingredients and whisk again.
Peel the onion, cut into half-feathers, put in ice-cold salted water for 15 minutes.
Remove the stalks from the strawberries, cut the berries into bite-sized pieces. Cut the tomatoes into large slices.
Mix tomatoes, strawberries and dried onions, pour dressing, mix, sprinkle with zest and black pepper, serve immediately (if desired, with fried cheese such as halloumi or suluguni).
