Good weather is here. This means local grocery stores and fresh markets will soon be flooded with fresh local produce. With the heat and humidity in mind, our appetites are usually inclined to light, quick and refreshing options. One of my favourite side dish that I often make is a light and healthy fresh fruit salsa with the produce that our great country offers during the summer. Yes, for all you international readers, Canada does have hot summers!
