Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled and finely diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, stemmed, seeded, and finely diced
- 1/2 cup finely diced red onion (about 1/4 medium red onion)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, loosely packed
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the diced strawberries, finely diced jalapeño, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, and a pinch of kosher salt into a medium-sized bowl.
- Mix Thoroughly: Toss all the ingredients together gently but thoroughly until they are well combined and coated in lime juice.
- Serve or Rest: You can serve the salsa immediately for a fresh and vibrant flavor. Alternatively, cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
Notes
- Sweetness: If the salsa feels not sweet enough, gradually add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar or honey at a time, mixing between additions, until the desired sweetness is reached.
- Storage: This salsa is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving leftovers to redistribute the flavors.
