It is strawberry season finally, and those little juicy babies are on sale and looking beautiful. Add some lemons to make lemonade! And make your own little crusts with crackers to make these salty-sweet little mousses taste wonderful. And the secret ingredient to make them mousse? Tofu. Yep, extra firm tofu. Wow! Gorgeous little beauties!

I have always loved strawberries so much – my nickname when I was little was the strawberry kid (I also have red hair so double meaning). Can’t wait to try these – they are perfect for summer!
