Instructions

Prepare the Fruit: Start by thoroughly washing and drying your strawberries and pineapple. Hull and finely dice the strawberries, then chop the pineapple into small, even pieces to ensure balanced bites.
Prep the Vegetables and Herbs: Dice the red onion finely to prevent it from overpowering the salsa. Remove seeds from the jalapeño (or leave some in for more heat) and chop it finely. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves.
Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, gently toss together the diced strawberries, pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro to evenly distribute the flavors.
Season the Salsa: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir gently and taste to adjust seasoning as desired.
Chill and Serve: Let the salsa rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes so the flavors can meld and chill for a more refreshing experience.

Notes

For a spicier salsa, leave some jalapeño seeds in or add extra jalapeño.
Serve this salsa with tortilla chips, grilled fish, chicken, or as a topping for tacos.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
You can substitute fresh cilantro with parsley if preferred.
