How to Make Strawberry Avocado Salsa

Prep Produce: Gently rinse and pat dry the strawberries and cilantro. Hull and dice the strawberries. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice.

Mix: In a medium bowl, combine the diced strawberries, avocado, red onion, jalapeño (if using), and cilantro.

Tip – Make-Ahead: If preparing in advance, add the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.

Dress: Drizzle with lime juice and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.

Toss Gently: Use a soft spatula or spoon to mix just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the avocado chunks intact.

Serve: Enjoy immediately with tortilla chips or pita crisps, spoon over grilled chicken, shrimp, or fish, or use as a fresh topping for tacos.

Storage: Refrigerate the prepared salsa for up to 1 hour before serving. For best results, add avocado just before serving if storing ahead.
