There's no doubt it's strawberry season in the U.S. Every time I check my feed reader to see what fellow bloggers have been cooking, I see bright red strawberries being used in interesting ways. Alanna has already given us ideas for Fabulous Strawberry Desserts, but if you're lucky enough to have plenty of strawberries where you live, here are suggestions for other strawberry dishes you might want to add to the menu for this weekend.

I like fruit but rarely make dessert, so if I had some juicy strawberries, something like this Strawberry Asparagus Salad from Dianne's Dishes would be just the way I'd love to use them.

It's a combination I don't think I've ever seen before, and the Strawberry and Orange Juice from The Greedy Gourmet sounds like it would be very refreshing.

Strawberry Rhubarb Scones from Foodie Reflections combine two seasonal ingredients to create a scone that looks perfect for breakfast.

Another idea I haven't seen before is the Strawberry Risotto with Balsamic Vinegar from Lucullian Delights, which sounds like it would make a very interesting side dish.

Finally, Strawberry Brunch Tart from The Hungry Mouse might sound like a dessert, but seasoned with thyme and cardamom and with a puff pastry crust, this is more like a danish.
