Recipe Notes
-
Add a little extra acidity: A few drops of white balsamic or apple cider vinegar can really boost the flavor and balance the sweetness of the strawberries. Totally optional—but worth a try.
-
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This recipe is all about bright, fresh flavor, so grab the ripest strawberries you can find, crisp red onion, vibrant cilantro, and definitely use freshly squeezed lime juice.
-
Don’t skip the chill time: Letting the pico sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes makes all the difference. It gives the flavors a chance to meld and deepens the overall taste.
