Did you know that ‘salsa’ simply means ‘sauce’ in Spanish, Italian, and Greek? Most of us are familiar with the tomato-based version from Mexican cuisine for its tangy and refreshing taste. And while it’s perfectly delicious, don’t get trapped into the same ol’ routine of preparing the same sauce–you’re missing out on countless other versions that could very well be your favourite.

Some of the most popular ways to prepare salsa involve using fruit. Fruit adds a dynamic burst of flavour and vibrancy to the dip. And if you haven’t tried making fruit-based salsas, it’s definitely something you need to try this summer. From strawberries, to mangos, to pineapples, here are some irresistible and mouthwatering fruit salsa recipes.
