Description
Make this easy, no-cook strawberry salsa that balances sweet fruit with a touch of heat. It is a refreshing dip perfect for chips or as a topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (use more or less to control heat)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Wash and hull the strawberries, then dice them into small, uniform pieces. Place them in a medium bowl.
- Finely dice the red onion and mince the jalapeno. Add these to the bowl with the strawberries.
- Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the mixture.
- Pour the fresh lime juice over the ingredients.
- Add the salt and the optional honey.
- Gently stir all ingredients together until they are evenly combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the salsa chunky.
- Taste the salsa and adjust salt or lime juice as needed for your preferred acid balance.
- Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use firm, ripe strawberries for the best texture and flavor.
- For a mango strawberry salsa variation, substitute half of the strawberries with diced ripe mango.
- This salsa pairs well with grilled chicken, white fish, or cinnamon sugar chips.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
