# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse the strawberries, cilantro, jalapeno, and lime under cool running water. Dry well before chopping so the salsa does not turn watery.

Hull the strawberries and dice them into small pieces. Dice the pineapple to a similar size so the salsa scoops evenly.
03 -
Add strawberries, pineapple, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, optional agave, salt, and pepper to a medium bowl. Fold gently until combined.
04 -
Let the salsa rest for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust with more lime juice, salt, or jalapeno, then serve with chips or spoon over grilled food.
