Ingredients you will need

• Strawberries: Choose ripe and fresh strawberries that are also firm so they can hold their own. Strawberries add some sweetness and acidity to the recipe and a gorgeous burst of color.
• Pineapple: I love this burst of the sweetness of the pineapple in this salsa. It tastes fo good against the spice of the jalapenos. Use fresh pineapple for this recipe for the best flavor. Choose a ripe pineapple and you will know it’s ripe when you can easily pull off a leaf from the pineapple.
• Red onion: The red onion adds beautiful specks of color and a nice spicey bite to the salsa. You can use a yellow onion but it will be stronger in flavor.
• Jalopnenos: Iove jalopenos. But you can use any other spicy peppers if you like. Just be sure to devein the peppers if you don’t want too much spice.
• Cilantro: I love cilantro but I know some people can’t stand it so if you are one of those people. I wouldn’t recommend parsley as a substitute but mint can work. Or you can simply leave it out altogether.
• Lime juice: Use freshly squeezed lime juice for this recipe. It tastes so much better. Of course, if you are in a bide, a bottle will work too. You can also use lemon with a slightly different flavor. The acidity of the lime juice complements the sweetness of pineapple and strawberries.
• Salt and pepper: Salt and pepper round out all the flavors, adding a bit more punch to the salsa.

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced strawberries, pineapple, red onion, and jalapeño.
2. Add the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Toss everything gently to combine.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Let the salsa sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Serve with tortilla chips, as a topping for grilled meats, or with your favorite tacos. Enjoy!

Variations and Substitutions:

• Mango Madness: Swap out the pineapple for a mango for a sweeter salsa. Or Use mango and pineapple for a tropical twist.
• Cool Cucumber: Add diced cucumber for extra crunch and freshness.
• Avocado Upgrade: Mix in diced avocado for a creamy texture.
• Herb Swap: If you’re not a fan of cilantro, fresh mint or basil would be a delightful substitute.
• Spice Level: Adjust the heat by adding more jalapeño or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

Storage Tips:

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The salsa is best enjoyed fresh, as the fruit may release juice and soften over time. If needed, drain any excess liquid before serving again.

Pro Tip:

For the best flavor, use ripe and juicy strawberries and pineapple. Taste and adjust the lime juice, salt, and spice level to your liking.

This strawberry pineapple salsa pairs beautifully with grilled fish, chicken, or even over a bed of greens for a fruity salad twist!
