Fresh
blueberries and strawberries, creamy avocado, and a bit of spicy chile combine
in this colorful, refreshing salsa, finished with a splash of lime and fresh
herbs.
Yes, it’s hard not to keep saying “fresh” because that’s what this dish is all about. It’s the perfect summertime accompaniment to simple pan-cooked chicken—but using it to top pork chops or serve with tortilla chips would work too!
