Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ripe pear
- 1 sweet apple (like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 0.5 red bell pepper
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 red onion
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry all fresh ingredients, including the pear, apple, bell pepper, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Core and finely dice the pear and apple into small, evenly sized pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper and jalapeño. Finely dice both and add them to the bowl. Adjust the amount of jalapeño based on your spice preference.
Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. Add them to the bowl with the other ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chopped ingredients and gently toss everything together until well combined.
Let the salsa sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a topping for grilled chicken or fish, or as a fresh side dish. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
