- On a hot griddle pan toast the baguette slices on both the sides.

Notes
Note:
1. The strawberries were bit sour ,so I had to use a good dash of honey to bring the balance. If the strawberries are sweet then skip honey and add a dash of lemon juice.
2. Try not to keep the salsa for too long as strawberries release a lot of water and it will loos the texture and crunch.
