Fresh Fruit Salsa from Zona Lorig

Often found promoting Tastes & Treasures cookbook and Arizona Recollections and Reflections Centennial book, Zona relaxes by cooking. This salsa is a family favorite.

Tastes & Treasures also has a Corn Salsa recipe on page 33 from El Tovar at the Grand Canyon. Try them both.
