Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and chopped
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper, finely minced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash and pit the cherries, then finely chop them into small, uniform pieces.
Finely dice the red bell pepper and red onion, ensuring the sizes are consistent to create a balanced texture.
Mince the jalapeño pepper, adjusting the amount to your preferred level of heat. Remove seeds for a milder salsa.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped cherries, red bell pepper, red onion, and minced jalapeño.
Add the chopped cilantro to the bowl and mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Drizzle the fresh lime juice and honey over the mixture, then sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper.
Stir the salsa gently but thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well combined.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salsa for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips, grilled meats, or as a topping for tacos or salads.
