Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 2 Ripe avocados
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
- 1 Jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse 1 cup of fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Using a food processor or chopping by hand, coarsely chop the cranberries into small bits. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Dice 2 ripe avocados into small cubes and gently fold them into the bowl of cranberries.
Finely chop 0.25 cups of red onion and 0.25 cups of fresh cilantro leaves, and add to the bowl.
Remove the seeds from 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chop it, and mix it into the bowl. Adjust the amount as desired for heat preference.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.125 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until the honey dissolves completely.
Pour the lime juice mixture over the cranberry and avocado mixture, and gently toss to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, if needed, by adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice.
Transfer the salsa to a serving dish and serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or as a topping for grilled meat, tacos, or salads.
