Prep the Fruit & Veggies:

-
Add Aromatics:
-
Add finely chopped red onion, cilantro (or alternative herb), and jalapeño if using.
-
-
Citrus Coat:
-
Squeeze lime juice over the mixture immediately to prevent avocado browning and start marinating.
-
-
Gentle Toss:
-
Carefully fold everything together so the ingredients are coated in lime juice without mashing the avocado or strawberries.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust as needed.

Optional Chill:

Serve immediately or refrigerate 15–20 minutes for flavors to meld.

Notes
-
Use firm, ripe strawberries and avocado for best texture.
-
Soak red onion in ice water for 5–10 minutes to mellow the bite.
-
Keep lime juice handy—it brightens flavor and prevents browning.
-
If the salsa gets watery, drain or stir back in—the flavor remains excellent.
-
Make up to 2–3 hours ahead and cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface.
