Sweet and Spicy Strawberry Jalapeño Salsa

Ingredients

- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 1 medium jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 3 green onions, finely sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberries.
Begin by hulling and dicing the strawberries into small, bite-sized pieces. Place them into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

2. Chop the Jalapeño.
Carefully slice the jalapeño in half and remove the seeds and membrane for less heat, or keep them if you prefer a spicier salsa. Finely chop the jalapeño and add it to the bowl with the strawberries.

3. Add Green Onions.
Slice the green onions thinly, ensuring both the white and light green parts are used. Add them to your mixture.

4. Incorporate Cilantro.
Rinse the cilantro under cold water, shake off excess water, and roughly chop the leaves. Stir the cilantro into the bowl.

5. Season the Salsa.
Squeeze the juice from the limes over the mixture. Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using a spoon, gently mix all the ingredients until well combined.

6. Chill and Serve.
For best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let the salsa sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to marry. Serve chilled.
