Must-Have Ingredients for Strawberry Salsa

If you’d like to make this easy side for chips, tacos, and more, be sure to have the following must-have ingredients:

Strawberries – Use fresh strawberries for this salsa recipe. You’ll rinse them and chop them into fine pieces.

Lime – The lime juice adds such an incredibly light and refreshing taste to this homemade salsa, making it that much more enjoyable.

Red Onion – The bold flavor of the red onion pairs perfectly with the strawberries and lime to create a heavenly combination you can’t resist!

How can I make this salsa super spicy?

If you’re a spice lover who’d like to bring a kick to this salsa, be sure to add sliced jalapenos to the mixture. Not only will the jalapenos add a slight crunch to this incredible salsa, but it will also bring the heat, making it much spicier than before.

What can I put this salsa on?

You can put this salsa on anything you’d like. It tastes great on chicken tacos, beef tacos, and even salad bowls. You can serve it on top of chicken, spread it on a tortilla, eat it on its own, or add it to any of your favorite foods.

Can I use a yellow onion?

While you can use a yellow onion in a pinch, it’s best to use the red onion for this salsa recipe because of the flavor it adds to the dish. The red onion tends to have a much bolder taste that really takes the salsa to the next level.

Homemade Salsa Recipe Notes

You can customize this salsa to your liking by adding different ingredients to it, such as fresh cilantro, which would also go great with the strawberries and other components of this dip.

If you don’t have fresh lime, feel free to use lime juice from a bottle. It’ll work well enough for you to prepare this salsa.

Be sure to store the salsa in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes before serving to give it time to get a bit cold. It tastes best when cold, but you can eat it however you like it!
