Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Fresh oranges
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Jalapeño
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 medium Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Start by peeling the oranges. Remove as much of the white pith as possible to avoid bitterness, then dice the oranges into small, bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the mixing bowl with the oranges.
Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membrane if you prefer less heat. Finely chop the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the mix.
Roll the lime on your countertop to release the juices, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice into the salsa mixture.
Season with salt, ground cumin, and honey (if desired), and stir everything together until well combined.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning as needed. For additional heat, you can add more jalapeño or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos, grilled fish, or chicken.
