It is FINALLY strawberry season here and the picking is phenomenal! Our version of salsa combines fresh picked fruit with sweet spiciness for a versatile, season-long dish that will surely please everyone! Serve with lime tortilla or pita chips, with chicken, fish or try as a delicous Pavlova or panna cotta topper. Works great as a bruschetta, as well.
INGREDIENTS:
2 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
1/4 cup purple onion, chopped finely
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lime, zested then juiced
1 orange, zested
4 basil leaves, torn
4 TBSP BCOO Sweet Strawberry Aged Balsamic
8 TBSP BCOO Green Chili Fused Olive Oil*
Fresh mint leaves
INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare fruit and vegetables as noted above in bowl.
Combine BCOO Sweet Strawberry Aged Balsamic and BCOO Green Chili Fused Olive Oil and pour over salsa**. Shred mint leaves on top and serve immediately.
NOTES:
*If the Green Chili Fused Olive Oil is too spicy for you (it's very hot!) try our Tahitian LIme Fused Olive Oil or Blood Orange Fused Olive Oil for a citrus burst.
**If not serving immediately, place mixture in fridge. Re-mix and pour immediately prior to serving.
