# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The sweetness of ripe strawberries balances perfectly with pineapples tang creating a salsa that feels like sunshine in a bowl
  • It comes together in fifteen minutes flat but looks like you spent way more effort on it
02 -
  • This salsa is best served the same day it is made because the strawberries release moisture and everything gets a bit sad and watery overnight
  • Don't even think about using bottled lime juice, it will make this taste flat and chemical instead of bright and fresh
03 -
  • Use the sharpest knife you have for dicing the strawberries to avoid crushing them into a mushy mess
  • If your pineapple is not quite ripe enough, a sprinkle of extra sugar along with the lime juice helps balance the acidity
