I LOVE strawberry salsa in the summertime. It’s just so fresh, light, and the perfect level of sweet. This fruit salsa recipe is really easy to make and it’s always a hit at parties. All you need is strawberries, lemon juice, fresh basil, olive oil, and a bit of salt and pepper. I’m obsessed with this mixture of flavors, and it tastes like a garden fresh recipe.
How to Make Strawberry Salsa:
- Combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and basil in a bowl

Drizzle a raspberry balsamic reduction over the salsa if you like! This just adds an extra kick to the strawberry basil fruit salsa, but it’s not a necessary step.
