Notes
- Fresh herbs are important. I like the flavor of basil with my strawberry salsa, but you could also try it with fresh cilantro. Just don't use dried herbs; this recipe works best with the fresh stuff.
- Add a little heat. Add a thinly sliced jalapeno pepper to your salsa for a bit of a kick.
- Switch up the fruit. Pineapple or mango would be great substitutes for the strawberries in your fruit salsa recipe.
- Serve at room temperature or refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. I do find that this salsa tastes best served the same day it's made.
- Store your strawberry salsa in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
