I love salsa with a hint of natural sweetness and ground cherries are a perfect addition. This is a relatively mild salsa; if you like it spicier, don’t remove the jalapeno seeds, or increase the amount of jalapeno. I use only organic produce, so I don’t peel the cucumber.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ limes, juiced, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- ½ cup ground cherries, husked and halved
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- ½ finely chopped seeded cucumber
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro, or more to taste
- 1 dash passion fruit-jalapeno fruit vinegar (optional)
- salt to taste
Directions
Step 1
Mix lime juice and red onion together in a bowl and let stand stand for about 5 minutes, as this mellows the raw onion taste.
Step 2
Add ground cherries, cherry tomatoes, jalapeno pepper, cucumber, cilantro, vinegar, and salt to the bowl and mix well. Serve right away or cover and refrigerate until serving.
Cook’s Note:
You may only need to halve the cherry tomatoes, depending on size.
