We attended a 4th of July party at a friend’s house this year, along with my Patriotic Punch, I decided to bring along this fresh, healthy salsa. I was inspired by a recipe out of Williams Sonoma Complete Outdoor Living Cookbook. I switched out some of the ingredients, added a few, and adapted it to what was on sale in the grocery store!
I served it with Tostitos Multigrain Scoops which were perfect to hold a big helping of the salsa. It turned out to be super yummy and I received lots of compliments by everyone at the celebration.
This is a quick and easy appetizer to make – I hope you’ll make it this summer and let me know what you think!
