Description

This refreshing Strawberry Pico de Gallo with Greek Yogurt is a vibrant twist on the classic Mexican salsa. Combining sweet and tangy diced strawberries with red onion, fresh cilantro, and a hint of jalapeño for spice, this dish is brightened further with lime juice and seasoned perfectly. Served over creamy Greek yogurt and drizzled with olive oil, it makes a perfect light appetizer or snack that’s both healthy and delicious.


Ingredients

Strawberry Pico de Gallo

  • 1012 strawberries, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 12 jalapeños, diced (optional, for added spice)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Black pepper, to taste

Greek Yogurt Base

  • 1/2 cup natural Greek yogurt
  • Olive oil, to taste
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the diced strawberries, finely chopped red onion, chopped fresh cilantro, diced jalapeño (if using), salt, and black pepper to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add Lime Juice and Stir: Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and stir thoroughly to blend the flavors together well.
  3. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the pico de gallo and add more lime juice, salt, or pepper as needed to ensure a bright, fresh, and slightly punchy flavor.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
  5. Prepare Greek Yogurt Base: When ready to serve, spoon the natural Greek yogurt onto a plate or shallow bowl. Season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and drizzle with olive oil.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Top the seasoned yogurt with a generous spoonful of the chilled strawberry pico de gallo. Serve immediately alongside mini toasts or your favorite dippers.

Notes

  • Jalapeño is optional; omit for a milder version.
  • For extra creaminess, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
  • Allowing the pico de gallo to chill enhances the flavor integration.
  • Serve as a light appetizer or topping for grilled meats or fish.
  • Mini toasts or tortilla chips complement this dish well for added texture.
