It’s perfect for the summer.

Great wrapped in kale n’ collard leaves.

Or simply served atop salads, tacos and burritos.

And, in its simplest terms…

Great for eating with a spoon right out of the chilled bowl in the fridge.

Now that’s what I’m talking about.

The perfect way to cool off your summer day.

A nice scoop of this crimson salsa and you’re all set.

Morning oats getting a bit too steamy for this hot weather? How about a dollop of this salsa on top?

I’m telling you.  It does wonders for your taste buds.

It’s a refreshing, scrumptious lil’ addition to any dish or nibble.

Pair it with some good ol’ guac and you’ve got yourself a fancy lil’ healthy nacho plate to enjoy with some baked corn chips.

Mmmmm.

    1. I was able to eat this when I made it. I just found out this week that I have dysbiosis and bacteria overgrowth so now I am unable to eat fruits but hoping to heal soon so that I can make this again soon because it’s so refreshing on a hot summer day!

  1. Love the colors!

    How do you find fruits on your stomach? I need to get some melons! I love apples, bananas – and any kind of berries (by the pint). ;)…I really need to focus on washing them better though…

    1. Thanks so much; so happy you love this colorful dish. Right now I am not able to eat any fruits as I have bacteria overgrowth/dysbiosis in my stomach and cannot eat any fruits, which is sad but hopefully I’ll be able to feel better soon and add them in! I agree, I need to focus on buying organic and taking better care in washing my fruits n’ veggies more!
      Enjoy your weekend.
