Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Strawberry Salsa Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (seeded if you prefer less heat)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 large lime (or 2 small limes)
  • Pinch of salt

Serving Suggestions

  • Tortilla chips
  • Pita chips
  • Jicama slices
  • Cucumber slices

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the diced strawberries, finely chopped red onion, jalapeño, fresh cilantro, and freshly squeezed lime juice until well mixed. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
  2. Let Flavors Meld: Allow the strawberry salsa to sit for 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature. This resting time helps the flavors blend together, intensifying the freshness and balancing the sweetness and heat.
  3. Serve: Serve the fresh strawberry salsa with your choice of tortilla chips, pita chips, jicama slices, or cucumber slices for a crisp and satisfying snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • You can adjust the heat level by removing the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño or using less jalapeño.
  • For a touch of sweetness, add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup if desired.
  • This salsa is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Experiment with adding diced avocado or mango for added creaminess and flavor variations.
