Strawberry-Cantaloupe Salsa

Happy Friday, my Everyday Friends.

I am so excited to be in the kitchen today.  

I am back to a #healthyeating plan and you’ll be seeing a lot

more of these kinds of dishes.

Especially this Summer – with all the fresh fruits and veggies in season.

Today, I am sharing my recipe for

Strawberry-Cantaloupe Salsa

 Here in Eastern NC, we are just coming into Strawberry picking season.

I can’t wait to take the Grandloves out into the berry patch.

Plus, my strawberry jams are almost gone, so it’s time to

make several more batches.

 

Below are all of the basic ingredients you will need for this dish.

Chopping and assembly won’t take more than about 15 mins.

 Here’s what you will need:

About 1 -1/2 cups finely chopped, ripened Strawberries

Approx 1 Cup finely chopped cantaloupe

1/2 medium Purple Onion, finely chopped

1 medium Jalapeño, de-seeded and finely chopped (opt)

Generous handful of fresh Cilantro, chopped

Zest of one Lime

Fresh juice from one Lime

2-3 Tbs of Organic Honey

pinch of Salt

splash of Balsamic Vinegar (opt)

 You can chop the fruits and veggies as fine as you like… think “salsa size.”

 I tried to keep the sizes all the same, except I did go smaller on the jalapeño. 

Place all of the chopped ingredients into a mixing bowl.

Add the salt, honey, lime zest and lime juice. 

 

 Give it a good mix to help coat all the pieces with the seasonings.

 Because I love the taste of strawberries and balsamic vinegar, 

I decided to also add just a small splash.

It was perfect!

 After about 30 mins of chillin’ in the fridge,

it was amazing!

I made a smaller batch sans jalapeño for the Grands, 

and gave them some cinnamon pita chips to go along with it.

I am proud to say I forewent the  pita chips and ate mine right out of the bowl.  

😀

You could substitute the cantaloupe for mango or even pineapple, and I think it

would be just as tasty.  I can’t wait to fix the mango version to serve over some

grilled salmon.  Doesn’t that sound heavenly?

 

Speaking of heavenly… take a look at this new beauty!

#ad McClure Tables provided me with a product in return for a blog review.

But, the opinions, recipe and overeating too much salsa are all mine.

 

Honestly, it is one of THE most beautiful chopping blocks I have ever had

the pleasure of owning.

My newest sponsor, McClure Tables, out of Michigan gifted me with this

handmade creation and I was almost in tears when I opened the box. 

YES!  It’s THAT beautiful.

Completely handmade right here in America.

 I love the handles on each end which allows you to easily flip to

the other side when you are chopping veggies and meats.

 Every time I go into the kitchen, I can’t help but run my hand across the

smooth, Maple surface.  McClure Tables is known for more than 

just Chopping Blocks.  They also make:

~ Shuffleboard Tables

~ Bread Boards

~ Bar Boards

~ Countertops

And, check out these beautiful islands…

    Hmmmm, this looks and sounds delish! I will definitely be making this and probably often due to our brutal Texas summers. Thanks so much for sharing!

    The cutting board is beautiful! Something I’ve always wanted but have never purchased. Thanks for the opportunity!

    My favorite summer fruit is watermelon. It’s so good here in Texas. It’s practically all I eat when it’s hot.

    I have more than one favorite. I absolutely love basil! When looking for something sweet, though, strawberries do the trick. This cutting board is perfect. We are currently redoing our kitchen and this would match perfectly. 🙂 Thank you for the opportunity to win!
