I love fresh recipes like this. And this one is perfect for summertime. I haven't made fresh salsa or pico de gallo in a while and I would love to make this.

No peppers of any kind for this sensitive tummy--wonder how it would fare without.

I'd definitely love to try this salsa. The chunkier the better for me, and this one is a nice alternative to tomato based! In fact, I might even like it better!
