Ground Cherry Salsa image

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.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
