directions

  • Squeeze as much juice and pulp as possible out of the lemon and lime into a bowl.
  • If you are feeling ambitious, use some of the zest as well.
  • Add the honey and mix until uniform, set aside.
  • Peel, core and dice the apples to 5mm (0.2 inches) While doing so, add the finished dices to the juice/honey mix so the apple bits don't turn brown.
  • Peel and dice the onion to the same size as the apples, add this to the mix.
  • Remove the stem and deseed the poblano. Dice to the same size as the others. Add to the mix.
  • Finely chop the cilantro.
  • Mix everything until uniform. If all goes well, it should have an eerie green color suitable for St. Patrick's day.
  • Serve with chips or over lightly seasoned fish or pork.

  1. Best Salsa Ever!! I made this to bring to work and I could not keep enough copies of the recipes!! Everyone was asking for it!! Even the VP!!!
     
  2. WAAAAAY TOO MUCH RAW ONION! Its overpowering the flavor. I suggest using a yellow onion or half a white onion. You might even add some salt to sweat out the onions. It tastes better to let it sit over night and soak up the juices.
     
  3. I made this for a St. Patrick's Day get-together and brought a bag of tortilla chips. The salsa got great reviews from all! It tastes very fresh, with a nice mix of tang and sweetness wrapped up in a satisfying crunch.
     
  4. I used an Anaheim pepper as I didn't have a Poblano available, and I used red onion instead of white onion. Otherwise, I followed this exactly, and it certainly didn't disappoint. Really refreshing, fresh flavor which goes amazingly well with pretty much anything on hand. Good garnish as well as a good standalone dip. Heck, I could eat this like a salad. :)
     
  5. A neighbor gave us green apples from his tree. I made this with about 3 or 4 small apples. I used jalapeno instead and I juiced a couple of the apples to make the salsa a bit more moist. It is fantastic. The right amount of sweet and spice!

  2. Big hit when paired with Cinnamon Pork Tenderloin http://www.recipezaar.com/cinnamon-roasted-pork-tenderloin-362494 . I substituted a jalapeno for the poblano, which added just enough heat. I was concerned about the cilantro adding too much conflicting flavor, so I used parsley instead, as well as a half teaspoon of cinnamon and a quarter teaspoon of cumin. Very yummy!
