This recipe is from the BC Winegrowers Association. If you are planning to grill for Father’s Day tomorrow, you can make it extra special by making this salsa below. You most likely will need to substitute table grapes from your local store for the Okanagan coronation grapes which should be available later in the summer.

According to the BC Winegrowers website, the Coronation grape is now a major table grape variety. It was developed by crossing Himrod and Patricia varieties both of which are native North American varieties.

Try this delicious salsa with grilled chicken, meat or fish. If you cut the fruit into 1/2 inch (1 cm) cubes, this salsa makes a tasty dessert.
