• Strawberry Pineapple Salsa

While fresh strawberries are available year-round in many regions of the country, they are at their very best in late spring to early summer. Look for strawberries that are bright red, without white or green around the stem area. They should be plumb, with no soft spots, and very fragrant. While this irresistible springtime fruit is delicious on its own, strawberries lend wonderful flavor to a variety of savory and sweet recipes, from breakfast, salad and desserts. During National Salsa Month, we wanted to make a salsa that took advantage of strawberry’s amazing flavor and bright color. This tangy, fresh salsa is wonderful as a dip with our Simply Sunny Multi-Grain Tortilla Chips, but can also be served with grilled salmon, poached chicken, or as an unusual and exciting topping on vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
