How to Make Green Apple Salsa Fresca

  1. Dice 1 large green apple (about 1 cup diced). To prevent browning, immediately place the diced apple in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust to your spice preference), and the juice of 1 lime.
  3. Add 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper for extra sweetness and color.
  4. Gently stir in the diced green apple and 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint.
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For a warmer salsa, gently heat in a sauté pan before serving.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy with tortilla chips, salmon, pork, or lamb!
