Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons red onion
- 1 unit jalapeño
- 1 unit lime
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cool running water, then hull and dice them into small pieces. Place the diced strawberries in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and add them to the bowl with the strawberries.
Dice the red onion into small, even pieces (approximately 2 tablespoons) and add it to the mixing bowl.
Carefully remove the seeds from the jalapeño to control the heat level, then finely mince the pepper. Add it to the mixture.
Juice the lime and pour the fresh lime juice into the bowl. Mix well to fully combine the ingredients.
If the strawberries are not as sweet as you'd like, stir in 1 teaspoon of honey to taste. Add the salt, and gently mix again.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Pair the salsa with tortilla chips, grilled protein, or use it as a topping for tacos or salads.
