Strawberry Salsa
There are plenty of salsa recipes out there, which call for a sweet ingredient to provide a counterpoint to the heat of the jalapenos or other hot peppers in the recipe as well as to the tart acidity of tomatoes and citrus. These sweet ingredients tend to be fruit, generally tropical fruits like mangoes or pineapples, both of which have found a warm welcome from salsa lovers.
These are of course not the only fruits, which can fit comfortably into this spicy condiment, however. As it happens, strawberries make a great addition to traditional salsa where their sweetness and flavor offer a very special spin on conventional tomato-based salsas.
This strawberry salsa recipe lets strawberries and tomatoes share center stage, with each ingredient being present in roughly equal proportions. Also featuring jalapenos, garlic and lime in supporting roles, this is a salsa which you'll find yourself and your family enjoying almost anywhere you would normally use salsa; and perhaps even a few places that you wouldn't usually think to add salsa.
Strawberry And Tomato Salsa
Ingredients -
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
4 Roma tomatoes, diced
1-2 jalapeno or Serrano peppers, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lime
A pinch of salt
Preparation:
Slice the strawberries and chop the tomatoes, peppers, and garlic. Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix well. Refrigerate for two hours before serving.
This may be an easy recipe and given how good it is, it is tempting to double or triple the recipe, but a word of advice is in order here: do not. Unless you have a large family or you are making this salsa for a party, you should not make more than you'll use in a day; this recipe is a winner, but it doesn't keep terribly well, so make only what you need at the moment. This strawberry salsa recipe is easy enough that you can quickly whip up a batch whenever needed, so it is not necessary to make a large amount at one time.
Serve and enjoy - and get ready to be asked for your recipe!
