strawberry salsa

Whether you’re bringing a dish to a summer party or hanging at home on the deck with family, this quick and pretty dish is sure to please. The original recipe is courtesy of one of my favorite kitchen chef’s, The Pioneer Woman, and I only altered it slightly for a recent book club reunion with some girlfriends.

Letting the salsa sit overnight allowed all of the ingredients to spend some quality time together so that when it’s served, you get maximum flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 quart strawberries, diced 
• 1 medium red onion, very finely diced
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and very finely diced
• small amount of cilantro for seasoning and garnish
• 1 lime
• salt to taste
• Crumbled queso fresco for serving (optional)

Directions

Put the strawberries in a bowl along with the onion, bell pepper, and some of the cilantro, reserving some for garnish. Add some salt and the juice of 1 lime. Mix it all together, cover and refrigerate.

Serve with tortilla chips.
