This recipe is my signature summer salsa. I just decided this today.

Of course it doesn’t make much sense because a “signature dish” is one that a person is well known for — and well, only two people have tried this — me and my husband.

I know what you’re thinking . . . that we’re totally biased.  I mean after all, I made it and my husband, well, he’s my husband.

I’m very confident though, that everyone will love it as much as we do.  (If somebody tries this salsa and doesn’t like it, I’d wonder if that person also doesn’t think puppies are cute. 😉 )

I do hope you’ll try it too. 🙂

The colors of the fruits are what inspired the ingredient list — I think they’re so beautiful (and delicious!) together.

    No bias at all! The summer salsa would be outstanding with burritos and tacos too! But I’d take a small bowl just for myself!

      Thanks, Lynn. I just wish I could keep grapes in the fridge, but we seem to eat them within minutes of getting them. 🙂
