The Best Salsa Recipe with Fresh Strawberry and Carrot

The plan was to share this salsa recipe pre-Cinco de Mayo, but here we are, May 9th…so, Mother’s Day it is.

Strawberries are my salsa secret weapon. A few strawberries take this salsa to next-level yumminess. They also add a natural, subtle sweetness and replace the need to use sugar, which most salsa recipes call for.

In addition to the strawberries, chopped carrot adds flavor and texture and some veggie goodness to this delicious corn chip companion.

What’s to love about this salsa recipe?

#1 — minimal kitchen time! From prep to corn chip scooping, we’re talking 10 minutes max.
How well it pairs with Julia Turshen’s Paloma slushies (from Julia’s Small Victories cookbook — a true treasure), or any frozen tequila-based beverage.
And of course, no sugar added (hurray) — the addition of fresh strawberries and carrot add all the sweetness you need.
