Strawberry Salsa
This strawberry salsa recipe is delicious, colourful and easy to make! It’s the perfect spring or summer party appetizer. Recipe yields enough salsa for about 4 to 6 snacking portions, although I managed to polish it all off myself in under 24 hours.
Ingredients
- 1 medium lime juice and zest
- 1½ tsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 Pinch fine sea salt
- 1 pint strawberries hulled and diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper seeded and chopped (use a smaller jalapeño forless heat, or leave in some seeds for more heat)
- ½ small red onion chopped
- ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Chips for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice and zest, honey and salt. Stir in the strawberries, jalapeño, onion and cilantro. Add pepper, to taste, and mix well. Adjust the seasonings if need be (you might like a little more lime for acidity, honey for sweetness, or salt if it’s just not quite right yet).
- If your strawberries are nice and juicy, you can serve immediately, with chips. My salsa needed some time to marinate before it was juicy and awesome (about 30 minutes should do it). Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
