This beautiful salsa if very nice for Valentines or Christmas. The best way to serve it is with several fresh ment leaves small or rough chopped. Also toss in a few fresh sliced strawberries, for color. I choose cinnamon and sugar Stacy's pita chips but another choice could be the mini rice cakes with cinnamon sugar, creme brule, or caramel. Make it our owne.
