Servings: 6
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
- Hull and dice the strawberries and add them to a medium bowl.
- Add the diced jalapeño, minced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
- Zest one lime directly into the bowl, then squeeze in the juice of both limes.
- Add the kosher salt and stir everything to combine.
- Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
Notes
- Adjust heat level: 2 jalapeños gives this salsa a solid kick. For a milder version, use just 1 jalapeño and remove all seeds.
- Serve fresh: This salsa lasts for a few days in the refrigerator, but it's best served the day it's made. Strawberries will start to break down and release liquid as they sit.
- How to enjoy: Strawberry Salsa is great on grilled salmon, shrimp tacos, or as a dip with tortilla chips.
- Add optional sweetener: If your strawberries aren't very sweet, a drizzle of honey or agave (start with 1 teaspoon) balances the lime nicely. Skip this for a Whole30 compatible condiment.
