Strawberries: Salsa Style!

IMG_5929

Tomorrow I'll be at Green City Market making Strawberry Salsa with the Sprouts. Even if you're busy or too far away to make it, I still want to get you the recipe. It's a quick recipe to brighten up a weeknight dinner.

Seedling's weekly email tells proclaims that this is the strawberry's peak week. To celebrate this, we're eating strawberries every day: in our cereals, in our yogurt, in our smoothies, and in our salsa. Salsa? Yes, salsa. With a bit of red tomato, it partners well with grilled chicken, fish tacos, and even chips. Get it while you can.

  1. This sounds fantastic! Any other ideas for what I can do with the four giant buckets of strawberries we picked before they go bad? What can I freeze?

  2. Christy, you can definitely freeze strawberries. I usually freeze several pints. Hull them and then freeze them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Once they're solid, throw them into a sealable bag. We use them in smoothies all year long.
