This recipe comes from Jon, the partner of a VIBRANCE client who is a whiz in the kitchen and enjoys preparing meals for the family. His tomato-free salsa is an absolute blessing to those who have negative reactions to tomatoes. If all nightshades are off the table for you, omit the green peppers and the jalapeño and use avocados instead for a creamier pico-de-gallo style salsa.
