About this recipe
Strawberry Salsa is a flavorful dip that pairs well with chips. It's low on calories and is perfect for evening snack as well as you can serve as a party appetizer.
To make this flavorful fruit salsa dip I used my powerful Hamilton mixer jar to pulse everything together . But you can use food processor , if doing it in a large batch . Or simply use mini manual food processor to make this salsa in few minutes.
Though few prefer to finely chop all produce to make salsa , I recommend to process / blitz for just few seconds because it helps all the juices to meld well together and you can serve immediately too.
I served this salsa with nacho chips but I guess it can really go well on bruschetta and crostini.
