Ingredients
- 1 pint fresh ripe strawberries hulled and diced
- ½ cup red onion finely diced
- 1 jalapeño stemmed, seeded, and finely diced
- Juice of 1 lime
- ½ tablespoon honey or maple syrup or agave nectar
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, honey, salt, pepper, and cilantro to a mixing bowl.
- Stir gently until well combined.
- Let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes so the flavors can develop. For the best flavor, refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
- Serve with tortilla chips, nachos, crostini, tacos, or your favorite grilled meats.
- Notes
- For a sweeter salsa, add a little extra honey.
- For more heat, leave the jalapeño seeds intact or add another jalapeño.
- Fresh mint can be used instead of cilantro for a different flavor profile.
Notes
- Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor.
- Choose ripe, firm strawberries that are naturally sweet and juicy.
- Customize the recipe by adding avocado, cucumber, mango, or tomatoes.
- Dice all ingredients into similar-sized pieces for the best texture and consistency.
- Always use freshly squeezed lime juice rather than bottled juice.
- Don't skip the fresh herbs. Cilantro adds incredible flavor, but fresh mint works well if you prefer.
