Fruit Salsa Romanoff

Submitted by Deantini

"A super delicious dessert from Mexico; easy to prepare and pretty to look at. The dessert salsa takes advantage of whatever fruit is in season, but it traditionally includes at least some strawberries. Spoon it over ice cream or pound cake. Preparation time does not include 1 hour needed for chilling. From 'Salsa Cooking'"

Delicious! I used Triple Sec, blackberries, strawberries & plum, and it was a big hit! Thanks for sharing.

Made this very easily with strawberries, blueberries & raspberries & little banana, & it went well over a simple pound cake! I didn't use the liqueur this time but would definitely include it when I make it for company another go 'round! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Gimme 5 tag]

Good for you in every way. Also used Cointrea as per other reviewer. My fruit was strawberries, kiwis, bananas and peaches - heavy on the strawberries.
