The ruby red pomegranate jewels add some major bling to the salsa and I love the juicy pop in every bite! And of course I stirred in some avocado. Avocado make everything better and you’ve gotta have some green to go with the red. This salsa is festive!

I LOVE this salsa. It is bursting with flavor! Plus, it’s healthy…well, as long as you don’t eat too many tortilla chips. I always do, but at least I am getting in some good protein and fruit at the same time:)
