Stone-Fruit Salsa
You can use any combination of the recommended fruits in this sweet, tangy salsa. Or feel free to swap in chopped melon for a different kind of flavor. Keep the salsa sweet if you’re planning to serve it with yogurt or waffles, or add the jalapeños if you want to make it a little spicy for topping tacos or scooping up with whole-grain chips. Both ways are tasty.

Notes
DID YOU KNOW?
The other name for stone fruit is drupe. These fruits are in the same botanical family as almonds — which is why if you break open the pit of a stone fruit, you’ll see a kernel that looks and smells like an almond.
