02 -
  • Let the salsa rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully
  • Choose strawberries that are ripe but still firm—overly soft berries will break down too quickly
  • Dice all ingredients to roughly the same size for the best texture and appearance
  • If making ahead, add salt and lime juice just before serving to keep the strawberries from releasing too much liquid
  • Always taste and adjust seasoning—you may want more lime juice, salt, or heat depending on your ingredients
  • Use a sharp chef's knife for clean cuts that won't bruise the delicate strawberries
