Strawberry Salsa
The local strawberries in our area have been amazing this year; even rainfall and cooler temperatures have helped produce some of the best tasting berries in years. So yesterday, after picking the girls up from school, we headed to Mt. Olympus Berry Farm to pick a few fresh strawberries…Everywhere we looked we found perfect clusters of deep red berries reaching out to us, ready for picking. We found ourselves saying “ooh, wow- look at these!” over and over again. Needless to say, we picked way more berries than we intended…so, I am now in the midst of making just about everything I can think of with our harvest.
Here’s a quick, easy Strawberry Salsa recipe that is delicious with blue corn tortilla chips, or atop grilled fish. Add an Asian twist if you like, by replacing the olive oil with sesame oil. Stay tuned for more strawberry posts…
Strawberry Salsa
1 quart strawberries, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper(with seeds)
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.
Makes 2 cups
This salsa sounds delicious! I love cilantro and lime.. never thought to add strawberries, though. Yum!
Sounds great. I just made a salsa with peaches and bell peppers. I love the sweetness with with the fresh, spicy, sour and slightly bitter flavors that traditional salsas offer. I’ll have to try strawberries next.
Oooo…this looks SO good. We love fruit salsas-well-we love everything in this salsa. I bet this would be great with grilled pork tenderloin too. I can’t wait to try it.
Fresh picked strawberries…..lucky you!!! It’s gonna be a while until we’re picking here in the Northeast…I can’t wait!
Strawberries have been gorgeous around here too. The salsa sounds wonderful, great idea!
So beautiful! Reminds me of a salad I had at my bridal shower years ago!
Debi, this looks spectacular! I love the use of the jalapeno in this recipe, and you know my feelings about All Things Lime! Can’t wait to give it a try in my own kitchen here. Thanks for posting!
I ate some panuelos today, which are like cinnamon sugar flour tortilla chips, and I absolutely think this salsa would be the perfect accompaniment. Thanks for sharing, I wish I could reach through the screen and grab some now!
I’ve been looking all over for this!
Thanks.
