SALMON WITH VEGETABLE SALSA

Salmon with Vegetable Salsa image

This recipe is delightful. You can pair the salsa with grilled chicken breasts or barbecued shrimp kabobs, too. 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
