Strawberry-Avacado Salsa on Chicken


Ahhh, another issue of Cooking Light---the arrival of inspiration. My husband was probably happy that in my state of exhaustion I didn't once again offer up scrambled eggs.


The May 2009 issue offers a recipe for Strawberry-Avocado Salsa which I modified and then served over baked chicken.


Ingredients:


  • 1 cup finely chopped strawberries

  • 1 avocado, cut into small pieces

  • lime or lemon juice, about 2 T

  • 2 t finely chopped jalapeno pepper

  • 1/4 t sugar

Combine and set aside while chicken is baking. Once chicken is done, spoon salsa on top.


The recipe states that this salsa can be used on roast chicken, sauteed fish, or grilled pork tenderloin. Additionally, it can be served on tortilla chips.


This is a perfect summer recipe! I served mine with organic peas.
