Refreshing Strawberry Salsa

This fresh strawberry salsa recipe is loaded with juicy strawberries, cucumber, and lime juice. It's a great addition to your summer table! 

There's nothing quite like ripe summer strawberries. I know that in North America in this day and age, you can get pretty much anything any time of year, but strawberries are one thing I won't buy out of season. I've bought one too many boxes of tasteless strawberries, and I refuse to do that anymore!

Strawberries are typically tastiest and most readily available in June, but that varies depending on where you live. I've seen people go strawberry picking in some states as early as late April/early May, and here in Canada strawberry season can run into late August. 

In any case, if you've picked a bunch of strawberries and don't know what to do with them, or you just bought some from the grocery store or farmer's market and want to try something a little different (and love a sweet-savory combo), I highly recommend this easy strawberry salsa.

Recipe notes & tips:

• It's best to make this with ripe, juicy strawberries. 
• I am not a big spice person, so I used 1/2 a jalapeno pepper in mine just to give it a little manageable kick. Feel free to leave it out altogether.
• This salsa will last a few days in the fridge, but I prefer to eat it on day 1.
• If you're eating the strawberry salsa right away, you could even add some diced avocado to it. Fresh mint would also work in this recipe if you happen to be growing some in your garden!

What to eat with strawberry salsa?

Try it over baked or grilled salmon or chicken, shrimp (it would go great with my Grilled Tequila Lime Shrimp), in tacos, in place of a side salad, or even with chips!
