Notes for Strawberry Corn Salsa
- Use strawberries and avocado that are ripe but still firm. This keeps them intact longer without getting soft and mushy.
- I like to salt right before serving to prevent the produce releasing juice and pooling at the bottom.
- Dice your fruit into small, even pieces, so every ingredient is even in every bite. Deseed the jalapeño or Serrano and red onion into smaller pieces so one doesn’t get a big piece of strong flavor.
- To keep avocados from browning add the lime juice. They will stay fresh longer.
- Remove the seeds from the jalapeño, or omit the jalapeño altogether if you prefer mild salsa. On the other hand if you like your salsa with a punch of heat go for Serrano peppers.
