Why This Salsa Fits an Anti-Inflammatory Mediterranean Plate

Dice everything the same size so each spoonful has strawberry, pineapple, and onion, like the photo.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
What should I serve it with? 🍽️
Grilled chicken, salmon, shrimp, or pita chips. It is also good next to feta.
Can I make it ahead? 🥡
Yes, up to 8 hours. Drain a little juice before serving if it sits.
Fresh pineapple or canned? 🍍
Fresh is brighter. If you use canned, drain it well and pat it dry.
Is the herb cilantro or parsley? 🌿
Either. Parsley keeps it more Mediterranean. Cilantro is the usual salsa herb.

Notes & Tips 💡
- If the onion is sharp, soak the dice in cold water for 5 minutes and pat dry.
- Extra-virgin olive oil is what makes this a Mediterranean salsa, not just chopped fruit.
- Pat very juicy fruit dry so the bowl does not fill with liquid.
- A pinch of chili flakes gives you a little heat against the sweet fruit.
- This is best the same day, while the fruit still has a snap.
