Today is my group’s reveal day for the Secret Recipe Club. What is the SRC? Basically you are assigned a fellow participant’s blog by the organizer and then you pick a recipe of your choice from that blog and make your version of it. But it is a secret, you cannot reveal whom you picked and what you made until the established posting date and time.
This month I was assigned the blog Cooking With Chopin, Living with Elmo, which is authored by the wonderful Ginny. She is a very happy housewife and mother to two boys and the youngs certainly enjoy spending time in the kitchen with their mom.The array of recipes to choose from was quite vast and finding one in particular to settle on was tough. I was very tempted to try her Bacon-Spinach Pinwheels, Lavender-Lemon Roasted Salmon or Apple-Cinnamon Pull Apart Loaf, but in the end a dish I had to prepare for a BBQ potluck won out: I chose the intriguing Strawberry Avocado Salsa. If you want to skip the obvious corn chips, this sweet and savory salsa goes perfectly with chicken, salmon or trout, or pork tenderloin.
Ξ Strawberry Avocado Salsa Ξ
2 cups ripe strawberries, finely chopped
1 large avocado, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
2 green onions (green part only), sliced into thin rings
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Juice and zest from one large lime
2 teaspoons finely chopped, seeded jalapeno pepper (optional)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and preferably serve immediately. If you plan on serving a bit later toss the avocado with someone of the lime juice to prevent from turning brown.
I’ve been looking through some of your recipes and you do some amazing things with Berries! This alone looks outta this world yummy!!
Whoa, does this look amazing! What a delicious salsa!
What a brilliant pairing, Ev! The creamy avocado with a slightly firm and fruity bite. I wish I had a bowl right now with some chips! That said..did you know that spraying a light coating of light oil on chopped avocado keeps it bright green without being greasy? Just one light spritz. I haven’t tried it yet, but two friends have on their guacamole and says it works perfectly!
I agree with Kristi! A super nice change. Kudos dahhling. 🙂
What a beautiful and appetizing salad! Love the colour contrast…wonderful!
What a colorful salsa. This is a nice change from the typical mango salsa!
Ohhh wow I love this salsa! I have never paid attention before but this summer I learned so many new ways to make salsa! This one is a new one – strawberry and avocado?! YUM! It’s so funny that I have a mindset that salsa should be this way and never thought about outside the box. Ordinary ingredients such as strawberry and avocado combination can be a delicious salsa! Thanks for sharing!
What a fresh and creative recipe! And so pretty 🙂
I love how versatile strawberries are, perfect in sweet and savory dishes:-) Your salsa looks soooooo beautiful, and would perfect on top of some crusty bread:-) Delicious, Hugs, Terra
Such a refreshing combination with stawberries and avocado, nice!
Strawberry with avocado? Interesting but I’m not too fond of mixing savory with sweet. 😛
This looks incredible! I’ve never paired strawberry and avocado but I bet it really works, especially with the green onion in there.
I have never tried adding strawberries to a salsa. Your pics make me regret it. It looks so delicious and I am sure it goes perfectly with chicken or pork!

Evelyne: This is one of my favorite recipes. Such a pretty presentation, and the flavors are so adaptable! Thanks for your kind words. Hope the salsa was a hit at your potluck!
