Lychee Salsa

Submitted by Rita1652

"Lychee is a crisp juicy fruit which is white or pinkish, translucent and glossy some what like the a grape, but the taste is sweeter and very refreshing. Making this salsa great for hot summer days! Serving with your favorite chips or top grilled fish, chicken, or pork."

WHAT A GREAT & DIFFERENT SALSA! Made this to serve a lot of company I had this past weekend & it was extremely well received! I did use lemon pepper instead of the usual S&P, but otherwise followed the ingredients for A HIT DIP! Thanks for the recipe! A KEEPER!

Made it with canned Lychees and red onion and will make it again and again.

Very nice in color and taste. I made it for a potluck and it went pretty quick. I used two cans of whole pitted lychees and reserved the syrup for a smoothie (yum). I liked how one bite starts with a cool and sweet flavor that changes to a hot and spicy flavor in your mouth. The saltiness of tortilla chips really goes along with it too. Thanks!

Let me add my 5 stars to the list!! A wonderful refreshing salsa, the mixture of peppers used created a beautiful bowl of colours and the taste was excellent. Especially nice served in mini pitas, good idea Toolbelt Diva! Great recipe Rita!

Fantastic Reets!!! I doubled the recipe and used red, green, yellow and orange peppers... as well as jalapeno.. Such an easy recipe, so refreshing and great for multi-dipping. Thanks for a wonderful salsa Rita.
