♥ an easy summer salsa.

i love birthday parties- especially ones where you can come

and eat and eat and eat and no one notices because there are

so many guests and so much food to choose from.

last weekend, the boys and i attended a fabulous one year old's birthday party

and we fell head over heels in love with this delicious strawberry jalapeno salsa!

spicy and flavorful, this salsa proves that not everything with strawberries

has to necessarily be sweet. i wanted to dip a chip in it, slather it across a

veggie burger or even put it in a bowl and eat it all by itself! yum!

as soon as i got home, i had to re-create it.

here's the recipe i found- make it for your next summer party,

or if you're like me- for a party of one ;)

ingredients:

1 pint of strawberries, hulled and diced

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced (keep seeds for more spice!)

1/2 small red onion, diced

zest from juice of one medium lime

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1/8 teaspoon of pepper

directions:

1) add all ingredients into a large bowl and add salt and pepper to taste

2) keep refrigerated or serve fresh with lime tortilla chips

3) i dare you not to eat it all in one sitting ;)
