This strawberry salsa tastes awesome with fish or chicken and you can also serve it as a salad on a weeknight or as a salsa at the weekend BBQ party.

It’s summer and this means the perfect time to enjoy fresh produce. I try to incorporate fresh berries, fruits, veggies, and herbs into our meals every day. The good thing is that you don’t even have to put too much effort into making delicious salads and salsas. Just chop all the ingredients, toss them together and you are done.

What can be better than all the fresh and healthy ingredients mixed together to create this beautiful strawberry salsa?

Unfortunately, this strawberry salsa doesn’t keep well in the fridge because strawberries release a lot of moisture and the salsa becomes quite soggy. So, make it not more than one hour before you are planning to serve it and just eat the leftovers because it’s just so good!

Enjoy!

And if you have some leftover strawberries, consider making this Homemade Strawberry Soda. If you are looking for more healthy appetizers, check out this Peach Salsa, this Roasted Eggplant Dip, and these Vegetarian Stuffed Tomatoes.
