Mmmmmm. Yup, in Israel, December coming up means it’s peak strawberry season. Holy Land Hipster knows how to celebrate the simple pleasures.

We are on the cusp of strawberry season here in Israel. I am so excited! I love strawberries, I think they are my absolute favorite fruit! I managed to score a really small container of strawberries on Friday and I made Rob’s famous fruit salad for breakfast this morning. I also went out and bought a tiny juicer, to use when I need to cook with lemon or lime juice. The fruit salad was yummy, I managed to pick a really sweet honeydue (ok, I’ll admit it, until I opened it up this morning I thought it was a canteloupe), some good red grapes, the strawberries and a very ripe mango. I dressed it with some lime juice, honey and fresh mint and it was the perfect way to wake up this morning. And, with the sun streaming through my huge glass windows, it was heavenly. The weather in Israel today was amazing. No humidity, sun shining, warm in Tel Aviv and crisp in Jerusalem. Perfect!
