Ingredients

Strawberry Salsa Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries (hulled and diced)
  • 2 jalapeño peppers (seeded and finely diced)
  • ¼ cup red onion (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 small limes (zest 1, juice both)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Hull and dice the strawberries, then place them into a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Add Vegetables and Herbs: Add the finely diced jalapeño peppers, minced red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro to the bowl with the strawberries.
  3. Add Lime Zest and Juice: Zest one lime directly into the bowl to infuse bright citrus oils, then squeeze the juice from both limes over the mixture for acidity.
  4. Season the Salsa: Sprinkle ½ teaspoon kosher salt over the ingredients, then stir thoroughly to combine all the flavors evenly.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Sample the salsa and adjust salt or lime juice according to your preference. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For less heat, remove all seeds from the jalapeños before dicing.
  • This salsa is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • Pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips, grilled chicken, or fish tacos.
  • For a sweeter touch, you can add a teaspoon of honey if desired.
