  3. Add a pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon) and mix gently until combined.
  4. Place the mixture in a covered airtight container and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 12 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.

  6. Garnish each serving with a fresh strawberry half.
  7. Optional: Add a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
