Ingredients:
Instructions:

- Season with a dash of salt.
- Mix everything together gently to combine all the flavors. Set aside for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
- Using a spoon, gently scoop out some of the flesh to create a larger cavity for the salsa. (Save the scooped-out avocado for another recipe or mash it up and add to the salsa if you prefer.)
- Spoon generous amounts of the prepared strawberry salsa into each avocado half, filling the cavity.
- Place the stuffed avocado halves on a serving platter.

Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm avocados to ensure they hold their shape when stuffed.
- For a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before chopping.
- Add more or less lime juice to adjust the tartness to your liking.
- Prepare the salsa in advance and let it chill in the fridge for an hour to enhance the flavors.
- Garnish with additional coriander leaves or even a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese for added complexity.
