NOTE- Refer the recipe card for measurements.

• Fruits– Mango & Strawberry are the star ingredients of this homemade fresh salsa.
• Onion- I prefer using red onion for salsa. I tried other onion but did not like the taste. So using red onion is preferred and recommended. Eliminate if not available.

• Garnishing– finely chopped green coriander. If you do not like coriander feel free to remove but recommended.

This fresh fruit salsa is a perfect side dish to serve on BBQ parties with tofu or paneer(cottage cheese), Cinco De Mayo celebration, or accompany it with any Mexican meal.
