Ingredients

This is simple just a few ingredients salsa which is best enjoyed when strawberries are in season.

You'll need 8 ingredients:

  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and finely diced
  • 1 jalapeno, stem and seeds removed, finely diced
  • half of a small red onion, finely diced
  • A handful of  fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, freshly squeezed juice 
  • ½ teaspoon granulated white sugar or light muscovado  sugar
  • Himalayan fine pink (or kosher salt) to taste
  • Black ground pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Medium Serving Bowl (great for a double batch) or use smaller one for serving this salsa
  • Stainless Steel Lemon Squeezer

How To Make Strawberry Salsa

This easy fruit salsa will be a beautiful addition to a barbecue or as a party appetizer and snack, just make sure your guests will eat it as it will be served.

Unfortunately, strawberries won’t last very long and will loose their bright color and fresh taste after a few hours of being ‘’marinated’’ in the salsa. 

Let's see how to make this fruit salsa:

Place onion in a medium bowl and drizzle with whole lime squeezed juice. Set aside while you prep the other ingredients. 

Strawberry Salsa

In a medium serving bowl mix strawberries, jalapeno, cilantro, sugar, salt and pepper. Add red onion and mix to combine.

Strawberry Salsa

Serve with chips, tacos, grilled chicken, or seafood such as tuna or shrimp.

Add Ons And Variations

  • Freshly chopped mint (be careful, as chopped mint may start to lose its color and become brown.
  • Throw sliced or chunks of avocado in the mix.
  • Make a pineapple salsa or even a berry salsa instead.
  • Another great fruit salsa idea: strawberries, kiwi, mango, and apples/pineapples. Use the same method that is described in this recipe but you may skip the onion and jalapeno part.
  • Best served with delicious sugar-cinnamon tortilla chips: Take 8 tortillas and cut them into triangles. Brush with melted butter on both sides. Transfer to a zip lock bag, throw in 1 ½ tablespoons of cinnamon and about 1 cup of brown sugar (or white), seal the bag and give it a good shake. Arrange on a baking tray in a single layer and bake until crispy and golden brown. Serve with strawberry or other fruit salsa!
  • This recipe makes about 1 ½ cups of strawberry salsa.
  • If cilantro is not your favorite, simply sub it with parsley or a little bit of basil or mint.

Serving Suggestions

There are two routes you can take on this one. Either sweet or savory. 

Sweet

  • Serve with homemade gluten free cinnamon-sugar baked tortilla chips. 
  • Omit the onion and jalapeno and serve with ice creams, breakfast buns or toasts with butter drizzle some honey or maple syrup on top.

Savory

  • Tex-Mex style - Serve as a side dish for or in tacos or add to taco salads.
  • Appetizers - Make a crostini or bruschetta with strawberry salsa, cheese (any good creamy textured cheese will work best such as goat cheese, brie, camembert or simply cream cheese or mascarpone) and fresh herbs for garnish. 
  • Main Course - Garnish main dishes with strawberry salsa such as grilled steaks, chicken.
  • Appetizer - Serve with beet chips, chili tortilla chips (my favorite) or other type of gluten free chips or crackers.
  • Serve in lettuce wraps as an Appetizer - Bright and colorful, kids will love (you can skip the jalapeno/onion here).
  • Strawberry salsa for fish - will work amazing with grilled shrimp and salmon.
  • Cheese and crackers

Well, or anything else that you'd serve pico de gallo with 🙂 What's your favorite?
