Strawberry Salsa

This easy fruit salsa will be a beautiful addition to barbecue or as a party appetizer and snack, just make sure your guests will eat it as it will be served. Unfortunately strawberries won’t last very long and will loose their bright color and fresh taste after few hours being ‘’marinated’’ in the salsa.

Serve with chips, tacos, grilled chicken, or seafood such as tuna or shrimp.
