Casual salsa for a gourmet dinner


I found this in a Southern Living magazine years ago!  But a family fav for us. 

Its light and cool and great with everything from chips to steaks.   Make it up and let it set overnight for even better flavor.  Try it today!
I usually serve it as a dip or as a side with beef or pork, its so light that it works great with steaks, sausage or pork chops.
