Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Green apples (Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 medium Roma tomatoes (diced)
- 0.5 medium Red onion (finely diced)
- 0.25 cup Cilantro (freshly chopped)
- 1 small Jalapeño (seeds removed, finely minced)
- 1 medium Lime (juiced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Prepare the green apples by peeling, coring, and dicing them into small, even cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, evenly sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the apples.
Finely dice half a red onion and add it to the mixture.
Mince the jalapeño (removing seeds for a milder salsa or leaving them in for extra heat) and stir it into the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add a quarter cup to the mixture for a burst of herby flavor.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the salsa, ensuring even coverage to add tanginess and preserve the freshness of the apples.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, starting with the recommended quantities and adjusting as needed.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well mixed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or alongside grilled meats. For best flavor, let the salsa sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
