How to Make this Recipe
Chop, mince and grate all your ingredients, mix, squeeze that lime, sprinkle in that salt and pepper and you’re all done!
Cooks Tips
- When possible, buy local and organic strawberries, veggies and herbs.
- Inspect your strawberry bounty carefully and make sure there’s no moldy ones! Mold easily spreads and one bad strawberry can ruin all the rest.
- To keep strawberries fresh in the fridge: arrange them (unwashed and un-stemmed) on a paper towel lined tray and cover with plastic wrap. We want ‘em cold and dry so they don’t mold.

Can you make the salsa a day in advance of using or does it get too mushy?
I'd rec prepping everything (chopping/mincing) in advance then storing all the ingredients separately in the fridge and mixing all together before serving. Let me know how it comes out Kathleen :).
