  • The sweet heat combination creates an addictive flavor profile that keeps everyone coming back for more
  • It requires zero cooking and comes together in under fifteen minutes
  • This versatile topping works on everything from chips to grilled fish to tacos
02 -
  • This salsa tastes best at room temperature, so pull it out of the fridge twenty minutes before serving
  • The fruit will release some liquid as it sits, so drain off excess juice if serving with chips
  • Making this a day ahead is actually a mistake as the fruit breaks down and loses its fresh texture
03 -
  • Use a very sharp knife to avoid crushing delicate fruit while dicing
  • Pat your fruit dry with paper towels before mixing to prevent watery salsa
