Easy Strawberry Salsa

June 18, 2022 8 Comments


Fresh strawberries! Gotta love ’em! And when they are in season, I’m whipping them up in delicious recipes such as Strawberry Bellini , or Strawberry Crostini , or Strawberry Panna Cotta . And when the heat is on outside, this no-bake Easy Strawberry Salsa is so refreshing and a major winner for finger-food simplicity!

This strawberry salsa is super easy to prepare with only a few ingredients. Made with fresh ruby red strawberries, bright green fresh jalapenos, the vivid colors have a huge wow factor on the eyes! So beautiful! And the flavor? Well, if you’re a lover of salty and sweet combo recipes, then you’ll really love this salsa.

The jalapeno, onions, and cilantro add some spicy heat plus a savory and tangy bite to the mix, while the strawberries add the sweetness . . . and one more ingredient does as well: To better equalize the balance of savory to sweet, I add sugar! Yes, that’s right . . . sugar! For my family, strawberry salsa recipes can a bit be too strong and a wee bit out of balance. Adding just a little bit of sugar solves that issue. You can also use honey instead.

I like to have this around to enjoy as a snack for when I start to get the munchies and reach for something that might not be as healthy as this strawberry salsa is. You can even get creative with it as a topping for grilled fish, fish tacos, or spooned over some cinnamon ice cream. Cinnamon chips (? Amazon)

So let’s get to the kitchen!

Gather all of the ingredients you’ll need:

  • Strawberries
  • Jalapeno pepper
  • Green onions (or red)
  • Cilantro
  • Limes
  • Sugar/honey

    You had me at salsa! Those vivid colors are so tempting to the palate, I could eat a bowl full! The sweet heat flavors would be so delicious as a topper for grilled fish or chicken! Love it!
