This strawberry salsa is a delicious, vibrant, and refreshing alternative to tomato salsa. If you can’t eat tomatoes, or simply you want to try something new with your tacos, you will love this juicy nightshade-free salsa. Ready in just a few minutes.
No nightshades? No problem. Strawberry salsa is even better.
If you are avoiding lectins, are on a low-histamine diet, or eating nightshades cause you pain and inflammation, you probably miss the tomato salsa.
Tomatoes belong to the nightshade family of plants, also including potatoes, pepper, and eggplants. For some people, eating vegetables from this family can trigger inflammation and auto-immune symptoms. Some simply don’t like tomatoes, while others avoid tomatoes because they are high-histamine.
Whatever category you are in, you will not be disappointed by this delicious strawberry salsa.
Strawberries, like tomatoes, are juicy and sweet and add a pop of color. Plus, they add some extra flavors and sweetness, so I think they are perfect for salsa.

October 18, 2022 at 2:43 pmHi Claudia, I love salsa and eat it often. As I’ve been working on eliminating or reducing lectins, I found this recipe, tried it, and love it! In addition, I made a 2nd batch and added a diced avocado and peeled, de-seeded serrano, and it is now my favorite snack to eat right out of the bowl!
