Sugared Pita Chips are great for dipping into Grape-Mint Salsa. Serve leftover salsa over grilled meats and fish.
Make the most of the season, and get outdoors with these nutritious and portable goodies. Grape-Mint Salsa travels easily in a large mason jar or any container with a lid. Consider an air-tight tin to keep Sugared Pita Chips from breaking. Both are perfect for picnics, camping, or a casual afternoon on the porch. Serve salsa chilled or at room temperature.
