Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 cup ripe strawberries, washed, hulled, and diced
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and chopped into chunks

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat, optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Seasonings

  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Pinch of salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and hull the strawberries, then dice them into small, evenly sized pieces. Peel the kiwis and chop them into similar-sized chunks to ensure a harmonious texture in every spoonful.
  2. Chop the Vegetables and Herbs: Finely dice the red onion and jalapeño—removing seeds if you prefer less heat. Roughly chop fresh cilantro leaves to add fresh, fragrant notes to the salsa.
  3. Combine and Season: In a medium bowl, gently toss together the prepared strawberries, kiwis, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and season with a pinch of salt to enhance all the flavors.
  4. Let It Rest: Cover the salsa and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and develop a beautiful harmony.

Notes

  • Choose ripe, fresh strawberries and kiwis for the best flavor and texture.
  • Cut all ingredients into uniform sizes for a balanced taste experience.
  • Adjust the amount of jalapeño to control the heat level to your preference.
  • Chilling the salsa before serving helps the flavors blend beautifully.
  • Use fresh lime juice rather than bottled for a brighter citrus flavor.
