CRANBERRY SALSA WITH CILANTRO, LIME, AND JALAPENO
Categories Condiment/Spread Appetizer Quick & Easy
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Put the cranberries into a food processor or blender and pulse until they are partly chopped. Add sweetener of your choice and pulse a few times more to combine. Add sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, chopped jalapenos (or Green Tabasco Sauce), olive oil, and lime juice and pulse until all ingredients are chopped and the mixture is well combined. (If you're not sure about using 2 jalapenos, add one and taste the mixture before you add the other, but I'm kind of a lightweight on spicy things and this was just right for me.) Put mixture into a glass or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid and chill for several hours or overnight. Serve over 8 oz softened low-fat cream cheese for dip.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe cranberries: The cranberries should be plump and firm, with a deep red color. Avoid cranberries that are soft, bruised, or have any signs of mold.
- Use a sharp knife to mince the cranberries: This will help to prevent the cranberries from becoming mushy.
- Use a variety of citrus fruits: The combination of oranges, limes, and lemons gives this salsa a bright and tangy flavor. You can also use other citrus fruits, such as grapefruit or tangerines.
- Add some heat with jalapeños: The jalapeños add a nice kick of heat to the salsa. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the jalapeños or use a milder pepper, such as a bell pepper.
- Fresh herbs add a nice flavor boost: The cilantro and mint add a fresh, herbaceous flavor to the salsa. You can also use other herbs, such as basil or parsley.
- Serve the salsa immediately or chill it for later: Cranberry lime salsa is best served fresh, but you can also chill it for later. If you're chilling the salsa, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion:
Cranberry lime salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It's perfect for topping tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chips or vegetables. And it's even delicious as a topping for grilled chicken or fish. No matter how you choose to use it, cranberry lime salsa is sure to be a hit!
