ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 1 lime

- 2 granny smith apples

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.

- 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.

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. :)

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!

Food scientist by heart and profession. I know how to make a few things very well. One of these days I'll learn to make other things. I have very little experience in baking, but I'm taking a class in it. I'm on a quest to make the world's greatest whole wheat pizza crust for some odd reason.
