Serving & Storing Suggestions
I serve immediately with tortilla chips but keep in the fridge for 30 minutes. It helps in mixing the flavors all together & tastes BEST when served chilled.
One day is enough to store the salsa in the fridge since salt and lemon juice is added. If you want to make it in advance, just cut all ingredients, and mix except salt & lemon juice. Add just before serving.
I noticed this fruit salsa gets soggy if stored for longer time due to acidic components. So store the mix and add salt & lemon juice just before serving.
