Colorful Summer Salsa

Sometimes I make salsa based on a craving for a spicy kick. Sometimes I just want to go fresh and light. Sometimes I want sweet and fruity. Sometimes roasted and caramelized.

And sometimes….I just want some fresh color!!! :)

Yes, I admit my method for making this one was literally — to see how many colors I can fit into one recipe! With so much beautiful, ripe, colorful produce to choose from this time of year, it definitely was not hard. And thankfully — since all of these ingredients go perfectly in salsa anyway, it turned out to be incredibly delicious! Definitely a yummy take on the lighter, fresher, chunkier side of salsa-making.

Cheers to eating colorfully!
