Its that magical combination of sweet and heat that makes people hover around the bowl at parties
Ready in fifteen minutes and gets better as it sits, so you can make it hours before guests arrive

02 -

The salt needs time to draw out the fruits natural juices, creating that perfect salsa consistency instead of floating in excess dressing
Adding avocado is delicious but do it right before serving or it will brown and soften the whole texture

03 -

Use the sharpest knife you have for the fruit to avoid crushing and releasing too much juice
Taste a cherry and peach before you start, then adjust lime and salt based on how sweet they naturally are
