Ingredients

Juice and zest from 1 medium lime
1 ½ teaspoons honey or maple syrup
Pinch of fine sea salt
1 pint of strawberries, hulled and diced
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped (use a smaller jalapeño for less heat, or leave in some seeds for more heat)
½ small red onion, chopped
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Chips for serving

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice and zest, honey and salt. Stir in the strawberries, jalapeño, onion and cilantro. Add pepper, to taste, and mix well. Adjust the seasonings if need be (you might like a little more lime for acidity, honey for sweetness, or salt if it’s just not quite right yet).
If your strawberries are nice and juicy, you can serve immediately, with chips. My salsa needed some time to marinate before it was juicy and awesome (about 30 minutes should do it). Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
