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!

Ali’s Tip:
If you’re making this more than an hour in advance, just be sure to wait until just before serving to add the avocado so that it doesn’t go brown.
This recipe looks delicious!
Don’t think you can call it salsa…Looks like a salad to me !! Yummy though.
Made it 4 hours ahead–was afraid I’d forget the avocado at the last minute before serving, so I went ahead and added it. Still fresh and green after 4 hours–guess the lime juice provided the preservation! Thanks–it is great!
I think I’m going to have to make this. I actually have all of this at home! ;-)
Ahhhh that looks so good!
Thatlooks like delicious, edible confetti. I love it. Thanks for the recipe! :)
Gorgeous salsa, and it sounds delicious too! I want to make it just because it’s so pretty :) It’d be great to take to a summer BBQ!

My kids were just telling me about “eating the rainbow” and it definitely looks like you’re eating a rainbow here. I like the addition of the avocado too.
