Strawberry Jalapeno Salsa Recipe with Basil, Cilantro and Lime
 
It’s strawberry season in California and we are  getting ready for the best Cinco de Mayo Fiestas! You know how we do!
 
As always there is going to be a Salsa Bar featuring all the classics: this popular restaurant style tomato salsa of course but also some exotic variations like mango and avocado, cantaloupe, dragon fruit, orange, pineapple, passionfruit, jicama, tomatillo and off course juicy California strawberries. 
 

This Goddess Strawberry Salsa Recipe is Everything! 

The Best Strawberry Jalapeno Salsa Recipe with Basil, Cilantro and Lime
 
I simply can’t ever seem to make enough. 
 
The gist of it is that you replace the tomatoes from the classic “salsa fresca” recipe with sweet, fragrant fresh strawberries. Add a spicy jalepeno and just in case you like it extra sweet just hit it with a touch of coconut nectar. 
 

The organic strawberries I grow in my own containers are usually way smaller than the commercial ones but also extra sweet, so I almost never need to bump up the sweetness. Taste as you go, it will all depend on the berries you can get your hands on.

Bowl of Fresh Strawberries
 
The secret here lies in finding that perfect balance between the sweetness of the strawberries, the tartness of lime and spicy jalapeño. 
 

Serve with a mix of really good chips, think blue corn tortilla chips, quinoa, lentils, pita, even the colorful root vegetable chips should make an appearance on this salsa bar. Or simply use your strawberry jalapeno salsa to top some bruschetta and call it a day. Let’s do this!

    This salsa was the talk of the party at our family bbq. Wish I had listened and made more, It was gone in no time with cinnamon pita chips. Probably the best fruit salsa I ever made. Thank you for sharing these simple but oh so delicious recipes.
