This ain't your mama's dinner!: Strawberries with mint, prosecco and yoghurt

Spring has finally arived! From memory, I think this winter was one of the hardest and coldest I've experienced. Slowly but surely those short dark days are being replaced with beautiful bright sunny days and this couldn't get me any happier. Along with the downside of shaving our legs and spring cleaning we get to rejoice on berries, ice cream and picknicks.

Last week, strawberries were sold extremely in-expencive at the local supermarket. I know it's still to early for them to be sweet, soft and juicy. But wit just the littlest bit of effort, you wouldn't even notice the difference.

I made this sweet, easy and light dessert for a dinner among friends last week. The next day I ate the left-overs for breakfast. And the following day I bought some extra strawberries just to enjoy this plate once again.
