How to Make Strawberry Salsa
Making this viral strawberry salsa is incredibly simple.
- Add the strawberries, honey, and sugar to a bowl. Stir until well combined. Let it sit for a few minutes, then drain off any excess juice. Transfer to a serving dish. You can make this 1-2 hours in advance if you like to prep ahead.
- Place the milk chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
- Dip about three-quarters of each graham cracker into the melted chocolate. Gently shake off the excess and place on parchment paper.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the remaining chocolate onto it. Spread into an even layer.
- Let the chocolate harden. You can place it in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to speed this up.
- Once firm, cut the chocolate into triangles. Arrange the triangles and the chocolate-covered graham crackers around the strawberries. Serve and enjoy!
Variations
While this recipe is perfect as written, there are plenty of ways to customize it to your taste. Some people enjoy adding a little heat with a touch of jalapeno to make a spicy strawberry salsa.
