Strawberry Avocado Salsa

Strawberries are not just for dessert, they are awesome in savory dishes as well!  I love them in salads and sauces, but they are also wonderful in salsa!  Fruit in salsa is delicious. It makes it sweet and savory at the same time.  In the recipe I am sharing with you today  I combine the strawberries with avocadoes for a bit of richness and heart healthy omega 3 oils.  Also I add in the usual onions, garlic and lime juice but I use oregano in place of the usual cilantro for a change.  It is light, healthy and perfect when served with tortilla chips or on tacos.
