Classic, can't go wrong here. Sweetness of the cream counteracts with the fresh tartness of the strawberry.

Smoked salmon salad. Shredded cabbage. Cucumbers. Sriracha. Sesame Oil.
Instead of shredding the imitation crab and mixing mayonnaise in.. Leave the meat whole and smear in some honey mustard. Tasty.
