With all the sweet, juicy fruits available in the summer, it almost seems like there's not enough days in the season to eat them all! Sure, you can snack on an avocado or throw some blueberries back between meals, but there's no reason you shouldn't be using them on your dinner plates in a savory fashion, too. These three fruit salsas are perfect for pretty much anything that comes off your grill: they're simple, flavorful and give you yet another excuse to eat all the fruit you can during these warm weather months. Just combine the individual ingredients in a bowl, and get to grubbing!

1/2 large avocado, diced
-
1/3 cup diced red onion
-
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
-
1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1/2 pint blueberries

Sweet corn kernels, cut from 1/2 an ear of corn

1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
