Yup, you read it right. I got a crazy idea while wondering the aisles at the grocery store last weekend. I picked up a container of strawberries and then I glanced over and saw some jalepeños… and an idea was born. I’m all about combining sweet and spicy, so I thought a strawberry salsa would be an interesting experiment.
I picked up some other ingredients that I’d use to round out the salsa and made my way home. I decided to cook all the ingredients on the stove rather than just toss them in the food processor in hopes that the flavors would meld together a bit more. I’m pretty happy with the result. It turned out slightly sweet but gets a nice kick from the jalepeño. Unfortunately the strawberries aren’t in their prime right now, so I think I’ll try this recipe when strawberries are in season and it will really take the flavor up a notch.
Strawberry Salsa
1/2 pint strawberries sliced
3 tomatoes
1 small onion, chopped
1 jalepeño
1 handful cilantro
juice of 1 lime
1
Chop all the ingredients.
2
Heat about 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet and toss onions in. Let cook for about 1 minute.
3
Add the rest of the ingredients, except the lime juice. Let cook for 5-10 minutes, until things get mushy.
4
Take the pan off the heat and let sit for a few minutes. Add the lime juice and stir.
5
Store in a few containers.
