Chipotle-Cherry Salsa image

This salsa comes from "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian" by Mark Bittman -- one of my favorite cookbooks. It's pretty fast to make -- the only time-consuming part is pitting the cherries, and if you have a cherry pitter you could probably cut the time in half. I have had this with blackened tofu and also with "fake chicken" Quorn cutlets, and my husband wants to try it with chicken and/or fish. It's not too sweet, and not overly spicy when made as written (I doubled the amount of chipotle chilies and it wasn't very spicy for a heat freak like me!)

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups cherries, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1 tablespoon chipotle chile in adobo, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put all the ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to combine. (You can do the chopping in a food processor -- you can pulse it to get a nice part smooth/part chunky texture if that's how you like it.).
  • Let sit for 5 minutes, then taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more chile, lime, or salt as needed.
  • Serve at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Overall, I thought this salsa was good, but it wasn't my favorite. I think I'll stick to my usual salsa recipe.

I found this salsa to be a bit too spicy. I think I would have preferred it with less chipotle.

This salsa was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cherries.

This salsa is so versatile! I've used it as a dip, a marinade, and even a sauce for grilled salmon.

I made this salsa for a Mexican-themed party and it was a huge hit! I served it with tortilla chips, tacos, and burritos.

This salsa is a great way to use up leftover cherries. It's also a great way to add some flavor to grilled chicken or fish.

I've made this salsa several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's the perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and smoky.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this salsa was so good that I couldn't stop eating it! The cherries really balance out the heat.
