Recipe Notes for Strawberry Salsa
Fully prepared salsa stays fresh for only a day so I recommend serving immediately. The lemon and the sea salt breaks down the strawberries and makes it soggy!
To store this strawberry salsa longer; you can either cut all ingredients and store them in seperate containers or mix everything together but add the lemon juice and sea salt just before serving. This way the strawberry salsa stores upto 3 days in the refregerator.
How to serve this Strawberry Salsa
The Best part of this recipe is that it is so versatile. It can be served in multiple ways and incorporated with mains, served as a snack and other creative ways you can think of. Some of my favorite ways are:

Another way that this salsa tastes delcious is with roasted chicken breasts or with grilled salmon. Bake or grill your protein and top with some of this delicious salsa and you will be making this on repeat
