Apple & Cheese Board with Apple Salsa
A light, fresh and flavorful salsa to serve on a cheese or charcuterie board. Also, delicious served with pork or fish.
Ingredients
- ½ large apple x4, cored and small diced, of each: Ambrosia, McIntosh, Honeycrisp, Gala
- ⅓ cup red bell pepper seeded and small diced
- ⅓ cup orange or yellow bell pepper, seeded and small diced
- ⅓ cup red onion diced
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- 1 jalapeño seeded and finely diced
- ¼ cup white balsamic vinegar or substitute lime juice
- 1 tsp. honey
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preparation:
- In a bowl, mix together the balsamic, honey and a sprinkle of salt & pepper. Stir to combine, then add the onions and toss to coat. Let the onions sit in the vinegar for 10-15 minutes.
- Next add the 4 varieties of diced apples to the bowl and toss. Mix until the apples are well coated in the vinegar (this will slow down the browning process).
- Mix in the bell peppers, cilantro, and jalapeño, then toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if required. Use immediately or cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
