Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe pears (firm but ripe)
- 1 small red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash all produce thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry before starting.
Dice the pears into small, even pieces (about 1/4-inch cubes). Leave the skin on for added texture, but remove the core and seeds.
Finely chop the red bell pepper and add it to a medium mixing bowl.
Finely dice half of a red onion and add it to the bowl with the pears and bell pepper.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves finely and mix them into the bowl.
Seed and finely mince the jalapeño pepper. Add it to the bowl, adjusting the amount based on your spice preference.
Drizzle the mixture with the lime juice and honey. Stir well to combine.
Season the salsa with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Let the salsa sit for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors together before serving.
Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips, or as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or tacos.
