Spicy fruit salads are immensely popular in Bangladesh. In the scorching heat of summer, what is a teenage girl to do except for make some lip smacking spicy fruit salad and take solace from the heat under the shade of huge trees. Daydreaming comes free with each bite.
Salsa comes very close to spicy fruit salads in Bangladesh. For now, I’ll share one of my favorite salsas that is a family favorite. The tart raspberry flavor blended with traditional salsa ingredients makes this salsa juicy, succulent and versatile.
Our favorite way to enjoy the raspberry salsa is with some homemade baked tortilla chips. I toast the cumin before grinding and sprinkling on the chips, which intensifies the flavor. This fruity salsa is a great colorful accompaniment to grilled poultry or fish too.
