A Cool Summer Dip: Strawberry Salsa

Shine Latina editor

One of the best parts of the summer season is the abundance of fresh fruit available to prepare some of our favorite foods, like crisp salads, grilled veggies and fruity drinks. How about a great summer salsa? Salsa recipes that call for fresh fruit are usually focused on mangoes or peaches, but we've got one to use up all those ripe strawberries. Forget traditional dip with tomatoes or avocados, this is fresh (and healthy!) take on a classic idea. Just get your chips ready!
