Here’s a fun twist on salsa that everyone will love at your next summer picnic or barbeque.

This salsa is better than anything you will buy in a jar! It’s delicious, quick, and uses all fresh ingredients that you might already have in your kitchen. If you don’t want to serve it with chips, try it with cucumbers, celery or jicama. It would also make a great topping for tacos!
