Tips for Making the BEST Strawberry Pico de Gallo

• Only use ripe strawberries. Fresh, local, in season strawberries are going to give you the best flavour.
• Want spicy pico de gallo? Include some of the seeds from the jalapenos!
• Serve with dippers like tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, fajitas and more!
• Adjust to your own tastes. Taste before you serve and adjust as needed.

How to Store Leftovers

Strawberry pico de gallo is best when fresh, but don’t worry if you have some leftovers! You can easily store it in your refrigerator for up to three days. To do this, place the pico de gallo into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.

I do not recommend freezing strawberry pico de gallo, as it will not taste the same once thawed. The texture may be off and the flavors won’t be as vibrant.

About the Ingredients for Strawberry Pico de Gallo

Strawberries – Use only ripe, fresh strawberries.

Lime – Use a fresh lime for best results. In a pinch you can use bottled lime juice.

Jalapeno – Once jalapeno’s are seeded I find them pretty mild in spice level, but they have a unique flavour that adds a lot to guacamole. Serrano’s are a great swap that I think work well.

Onion – White onion is a good choice for eating onions uncooked. They have a stronger flavour than yellow onions but it doesn’t linger. To tame the flavour you can soak them in cold water for 10 minutes. You could also use red onion instead.

Cilantro – If you dislike cilantro, try substituting with flat leaf parsley. It has a similar flavour profile but without that soapy flavour that causes people to dislike cilantro.
