Have you tried marinating strawberries? It really enhances the flavor! With just a few ingredients: balsamic vinegar, fresh mint, lemon juice and sweetener, it really elevates the strawberries into something extra special!

Now I should note that balsamic vinegar is the only vinegar that contains carbohydrates (2-3g carbs per tablespoon). Yet it pairs fantastically with strawberries - in fact I've use this combination before with my recipe for Whipped Mascarpone Cream with Balsamic which is served with strawberries - YUM! Only one teaspoon of balsamic is used here, but to great effect! If you wanted to skip it (which would make the recipe sugar free), then of course you can - and you shouldn't buy balsamic especially for this recipe. But it really adds SUCH a good flavor!

Update! Check out my new recipe for zero carb balsamic vinegar! It's perfect for this recipe!

How to Make Low Carb Marinated Strawberries

Hull and halve the strawberries - I highly recommend a strawberry huller for this task!

Low Carb Marinated Strawberries - a delicious and easy summer dessert!

Add the prepared strawberries to a large bowl together with the balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, chopped fresh mint leaves, and low carb sweetener (I used Lakanto) Stir well to combine.

Cover and leave in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
