# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The sweet heat combination wakes up your palate in a way tomato salsa never could
  • It comes together so fast you can make it while guests are already walking through the door
  • The colors look absolutely stunning on a summer table
02 -
  • This salsa releases liquid as it sits, so if youre making it ahead, drain off some juice before serving to keep it from becoming watery
  • The flavors actually improve after about 30 minutes in the refrigerator, but the texture is best within 2 hours
03 -
  • Balance the sweetness by tasting your fruit before you start, then adjust lime juice accordingly based on how sweet the strawberries and pineapple are
  • If serving guests who are sensitive to heat, start with half a jalapeño and pass sliced fresh peppers at the table for those who want to kick it up themselves
