Strawberry Salsa is the perfect combo of sweet and savory. It’s delicious as a dip with chips or served over grilled meats or tacos.Strawberry season has begun here in the Pacific NW and I couldn’t be happier. On our recent Scandinavian Cruise I ate a lot of strawberries, Norwegian strawberries are amazing. I was looking forward to getting home to my little strawberry patch. We discovered lots of ripe strawberries when we arrived home and our strawberry patch has been producing better than it ever has so I’ve been cooking up lots of new strawberry recipes. I’ve got lots of sweet strawberry recipes so I wanted something a little bit more savory.How to Make Strawberry SalsaStrawberry Salsa is the perfect combination of sweet and savory.
The natural sweetness of the strawberries paired with some red onion, jalapeno pepper and cilantro is perfect. Add in some white balsamic vinegar for even more flavor. I like using the white balsamic vinegar because it keeps the strawberries bright and red. White balsamic vinegar should be available at your local grocery store, but if you can’t find it, use regular balsamic vinegar. It will make the strawberry salsa a little darker, but gives you the same great flavor.Just add all the ingredients together and pour the balsamic vinegar over the top and stir.

I've gone on and on about 'real' strawberries in the past - see for some of my posts from previous years.
For now, I'll just say they are good. So good - and fleeting - only good for a couple of short weeks (just after peonies and just before cherries.). I love thinking about the calendar in fruit and flower seasons.I have a list a mile long of what I'd like to do with these little gems (thanks to my Instagram friends!), but really, they are so, so good all by themselves. I wanted to share this fabulously simple treat with some of our friends, so I packed some up this morning. Simple and pretty packaging for simple and pretty berries. See below for packaging details.Now, for some details about or morning at the patch.
