Salsa is a classic summer side, but before you reach for a jar of your favorite from the store, try this delicious Strawberry Salsa recipe instead.
Who doesn't love salsa? But even if it's your favorite fresh snack, it's nice to switch it up occasionally. That's what lead me to this recipe.
Why does it work so well? It might seem an odd choice for salsa, but strawberries add sweetness, mellow the heat of the jalapeño, and pair well with lime. I chose red onion for its sweeter flavor as well. No bitter onion here!
Even my kids love it. Let me show you how to make it.
