Strawberry Salsa – Barefeet in the Kitchen

Sweet berries, spicy jalapenos, onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime combine to make this strawberry salsa. This comes together in about 15 minutes and the salsa disappears almost faster than that every single time I make it.

Strawberry Salsa

You may be wondering what you serve this with. The truth is that we usually descend on a bowl of this and it never gets eaten with anything other than a handful of tortilla chips.

Each time I make it, I think that strawberry salsa would be awesome on chicken or fish. However, it has never lasted long enough for me to actually test that. Somebody let me know if you try it.

Between this salsa and my pineapple salsa, I just can’t stop making fruit salsas this summer! They’re hard to resist and there’s no good reason to resist them, anyway; they’re great for you!

Strawberry Jalapeno Salsa

To whip up this fantastic fruit salsa, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• strawberries
• jalapenos
• green onions
• cilantro
• limes
• salt
• pepper

Strawberry Salsa Recipe

Combine the strawberries, jalapeno, onions, and cilantro in a small bowl. Stir to combine.

Add the lime juice and stir again. Serve with tortilla chips and dig in.

Please note that this salsa is best immediately after it is made. If you must make it an hour or two in advance, wait to add the lime juice when you’re ready to serve it. The strawberries will begin to break down soon after it has all been combined.

Strawberry Recipes

When strawberries are in season, I can’t get enough of them. From salads to main dishes to all of the desserts, I’ll happily eat them every day.

The classic Strawberry Spinach Salad and this Berry Pasta Salad are always popular in my house. This gorgeous Strawberry Vinaigrette has a place in our refrigerator often too.

Strawberry desserts are a summer favorite. Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch, Strawberry Cobbler, and Strawberry Coconut Crisp Bars all need to be on your baking list this year.

Fluffy Strawberry Banana Ice Cream is the perfect way to cool off this summer.

Last but not least, have you tried Whipped Strawberry Butter? It’s pure heaven on a biscuit or scone.
