Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 250 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the fresh strawberries. Hull the strawberries and slice them in halves or quarters, depending on their size. Set aside.
In a small mortar and pestle or spice grinder, combine the granulated sugar and dried culinary lavender. Grind until the lavender is finely broken up and evenly distributed throughout the sugar. Set the lavender sugar aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, mix in the honey at this stage.
To assemble, divide the strawberries evenly among serving bowls or plates.
Add a dollop of the vanilla-infused Greek yogurt on top of the strawberries.
Sprinkle the lavender sugar generously over the strawberries and yogurt.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added pop of color and flavor, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this light, fragrant, and healthy dessert.
