  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
For the Strawberry Kiwi Salsa:
  • 1 1/2 cup diced strawberries (about ½ pound) (you can substitute cantaloupe melon or mango based on what is in season or on sale)
  • 1 medium peeled, diced kiwi
  • 1/2 medium peeled, diced cucumber
  • 2 Tbsp chopped, fresh cilantro
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)
  • 1/4 medium seeded, minced jalapeño (optional)
