Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup strawberries (hulled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup jicama (peeled and cut into small 1/4-inch cubes)
  • 1/3 cup red onion (finely minced)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 1/2 limes (zested and juiced for extra brightness)
  • 1/2 jalapeño (seeded and finely minced for subtle heat)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave nectar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (plus more to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Hull and dice the strawberries into uniform 1/2-inch pieces, then peel the jicama and cut it into small 1/4-inch cubes—this uniform sizing ensures even flavor distribution throughout the salsa. Finely mince the red onion and jalapeño (removing the seeds first for a more subtle heat), then chop the cilantro. Zest the limes directly into a small bowl, then juice them for a total of about 3 tablespoons of fresh lime juice. Having all your ingredients prepped and ready makes the assembly quick and prevents the delicate berries from being handled too much.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries and all the prepped ingredients from Step 1. Drizzle in the lime juice first, then add the honey, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and the lime zest. Gently fold everything together with a rubber spatula or spoon, being careful not to crush the delicate berries. I like to taste the salsa at this point and add a pinch more salt if needed—the lime juice and salt will become more pronounced as the salsa rests.
  • Let the salsa rest at room temperature for 20 minutes, which allows the flavors to meld and the berries to release some of their juices into the dressing, creating a beautiful, flavorful base. This resting time also softens the raw onion slightly and allows the jalapeño heat to distribute evenly. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.
