Looking for a quick, refreshing, and delicious summer snack? Look no further!
Here in the South, we’re known for turning just about anything into a dip or salsa. If you can scoop it, lather it, or dip it with a cracker, you’ve got a winner, winner, chicken dinner. If you’ve noticed, though, these popular dips can often leave you feeling a bit stuffed, am I right? I may or may not have highly overindulged in a friend’s homemade pimento cheese recently… okay, I did.
This summer, why don’t you give this super light, perfectly sweet FRUIT salsa a try? Not only will it satisfy your snack cravings, but it’ll treat your waistline right!
What is your very favorite summer fruit?
If I had to pick just one fruit to eat all summer, it would be watermelon. It’s crisp, sweet, hydrating, and isn’t too sweet!
For this salsa, you don’t have to play fruit favorites. Pick ’em all! That’s what’s so great about this recipe: you can customize it to what you’ve got available in your kitchen. Check out the list below to see what I used my last go ’round!
