Strawberry salsa is colourful, tasty, and easy to make! Perfect spring or summer party appetiser. I ate all the salsa in under 24 hours, but it makes 4–6 snacking portions.
– Juice and zest from 1 medium lime – 1 ½ teaspoons honey or maple syrup – Pinch of fine sea salt – 1 pint of strawberries, hulled and diced – 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped (use a smaller jalapeño for less heat, or leave in some seeds for more heat) – ½ small red onion, chopped – ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro – Freshly ground black pepper, to taste – Chips for serving
Mix the lime juice and zest, honey, and salt in a large bowl with a whisk. Strawberry, jalapeño, onion, and cilantro should be mixed in.
To taste, add pepper and mix well. If the flavours aren't quite right, add more lime for acidity, honey for sweetness, or salt when it's not quite right yet.
In the event that your strawberries are juicy and delicious, you can serve them right away next to chips.
My salsa needed 30 minutes to marinate before it was juicy and delicious. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
