CRANBERRY SALSA WITH CILANTRO, LIME, AND JALAPENO



CRANBERRY SALSA WITH CILANTRO, LIME, AND JALAPENO image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Appetizer     Quick & Easy

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bag (12 oz.) fresh cranberries
3/4 cup Splenda, Stevia In the Raw Granulated, or sugar
1 bunch green onions, sliced (about 3/4 cup sliced green onion)
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (about 3/4 cup chopped cilantro, or use more to taste)
2 fresh jalapenos, seeds removed and chopped (use more if you like it spicy; could also use a few tsp. of Green Tabasco Sauce)
1 T olive oil
1 T fresh lime juice

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 the right jalapeños: For a milder salsa, use mild or medium jalapeños. For a spicier salsa, use hot jalapeños. You can also adjust the amount of jalapeños you use to control the heat level.
  • Roast the jalapeños: Roasting the jalapeños before adding them to the salsa mellows their flavor and gives the salsa a smoky taste.
  • Use fresh cilantro and lime juice: Fresh cilantro and lime juice add a bright, refreshing flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but it won't have the same flavor.
  • Let the salsa sit before serving: This allows the flavors to meld together and develop. The longer you let the salsa sit, the better it will taste.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno cilantro lime salsa is a versatile and flavorful salsa that can be used as a condiment, dip, or marinade. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With its spicy, tangy, and refreshing flavor, this salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
