Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons red onion
• 1 unit jalapeño
• 1 unit lime
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cool running water, then hull and dice them into small pieces. Place the diced strawberries in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and add them to the bowl with the strawberries.

Step 3

Dice the red onion into small, even pieces (approximately 2 tablespoons) and add it to the mixing bowl.

Step 4

Carefully remove the seeds from the jalapeño to control the heat level, then finely mince the pepper. Add it to the mixture.

Step 5

Juice the lime and pour the fresh lime juice into the bowl. Mix well to fully combine the ingredients.

Step 6

If the strawberries are not as sweet as you'd like, stir in 1 teaspoon of honey to taste. Add the salt, and gently mix again.

Step 7

Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Pair the salsa with tortilla chips, grilled protein, or use it as a topping for tacos or salads.
