Green Apple Salsa - the World's Greatest - by Far

-d's Note:

I had to come up with an apple salsa recipe in class. I pulled this one out of thin air, and it came out extraordinarily good! In fact, when it comes to apple salsa recipes, this is by far the world's greatest.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 5

• 1 lemon
• 1 lime
• 3 ounces honey
• 2 granny smith apples
• 1 white onion
• 1 poblano pepper
• 3 ounces fresh cilantro

Directions:

1. Squeeze as much juice and pulp as possible out of the lemon and lime into a bowl.
2. If you are feeling ambitious, use some of the zest as well.
3. Add the honey and mix until uniform, set aside.
4. 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.
5. Peel and dice the onion to the same size as the apples, add this to the mix.
6. Remove the stem and deseed the poblano. Dice to the same size as the others. Add to the mix.
7. Finely chop the cilantro.
8. Mix everything until uniform. If all goes well, it should have an eerie green color suitable for St. Patrick's day.
9. Serve with chips or over lightly seasoned fish or pork.

This is AMAZING. It smelled really onion-y, so I was a bit leary about how it would actually taste... but WOW. So fresh, so delicious - serves 5-12? HA! I can finish this all in one sitting. Thank you for such a tasty recipe!

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!
