Description
A vibrant, sweet‑and‑tangy fresh fruit salsa combining juicy strawberries and pineapple, with a hint of lime and cilantro – perfect as a snack with chips, a topping for grilled fish or chicken, or a summery condiment.
Ingredients
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries (about 6–8 berries)
- 1 cup diced fresh pineapple
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for heat)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave (optional, to taste)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry strawberries and pineapple. Dice into roughly ¼‑inch pieces.
- Combine strawberries, pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro in a mixing bowl.
- Add lime juice, honey (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning—add more lime juice, salt, or honey as needed.
- Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled meats or seafood.
Notes
- For extra zing, add a splash of orange juice instead of honey.
- To make it milder, omit the jalapeño; for more heat, leave the seeds.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator; best eaten within 2–3 days.
- Fresh pineapple and strawberries are ideal, but canned pineapple (drained) can be a substitute in a pinch.
