Every one buys chicken to put on the barbecue as a quick-fix supper, and when they aren’t pre-marinated (don’t hide, we all do it!) we often end up adding some kind of salsa on it. Am I right?

So here I go again throwing myself out there (spice up your life you know!) into the making of an unheard of salsa, with all kinds of flavours but keeping in mind that I want to top the chicken with fresh, raw and colourful goodies.

Mission accomplished!
