Kiwis are a delightful summer fruit – not only are they refreshing and tasty, but they're also packed with vitamin C and antioxidants! At Tru Value Foods, we love finding new ways to enjoy this vibrant fruit. This week, we're sharing a recipe for a zesty kiwi salsa that's perfect for adding a bright and tangy twist to your next BBQ.

This salsa is so easy to make, it only requires a few fresh ingredients and about 10 minutes of prep time. It's a crowd-pleaser that goes well with grilled fish, chicken, or even scooped up with tortilla chips.

Tips:

For a sweeter salsa, add a tablespoon of chopped honey or agave nectar to the dressing.
If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute with chopped mint.
Make sure your kiwis are ripe for the best flavor and sweetness. A ripe kiwi will have a slight give when pressed gently.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
