# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It transforms ordinary summer fruit into something party-worthy in under 15 minutes
  • The combination of sweet and heat keeps everyone coming back for just one more taste
02 -
  • This salsa tastes best at room temperature, so pull it out of the fridge about 20 minutes before serving
  • Strawberries break down quickly once cut, so this is truly a make-it-right-before-you-serve-it situation
03 -
  • Use a sharp knife and make clean cuts through the fruit instead of sawing at it, which preserves the texture
  • If serving outside, keep the bowl over ice because the fruit starts to break down fast in the heat
