It’s August, which is also known as the Saucy Dipper’s “Month O’ Fruit Salsas.” I already told you about a mango-cucumber salsa and today you get lots o’ strawberry-yellow pepper salsa goodness.
Now, I’m not one to brag, especially since the following recipe isn’t really mine. I found inspiration on the Whole Foods website. However, I made this salsa for a barbecue last weekend and both friends and strangers raved about it. I said “RAVED.”
I think it was popular for two reasons. One, you can’t go wrong with fruit salsa in the summer. They really are refreshing and delicious. Second, the red wine vinegar added a lot of zing. So. Good.
I decided to toast pita bread as a dipper. I buttered and sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on the pita before baking for 10 minutes. Highly recommend you do the same.

Such a pretty and refreshing looking salsa
Why have I never had strawberry salsa?? I never would have even thought to use strawberries in a salsa. But this sounds amazingly refreshing. I bet your friends were impressed that you used strawberries too.
They were! So many fruits can go into a salsa. You could go crazy.
I’m all about fruit salsa right now, and I love this addition to my recipe collection. Thank you for sharing your words and pictures, my friend. I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow. I’m enjoying your post with a big bowl of watermelon. Just perfect. Much love and many blessings from Austin!
