Salmon with Vegetable Salsa Recipe image

This salsa recipe is great not only with salmon, but also grilled chicken breasts and barbecued shrimp kabobs. The only fresh ingredient not available in my son's garden was the avocado! Make a double batch of the salsa to serve with crisp tortilla chips. -Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida
