Tangy Rhubarb Salsa image

This is a recipe I came up with while trying to figure out what to do with an over-abundance of rhubarb. I'm not fond of sugary, syrupy rhubarb sauces but I love rhubarb and I love salsa, so I figured why not put them together! Just grab a bag of tortilla chips, or better yet make your own, and enjoy! Feel free to adjust ingredients to your liking. Don't like jalapenos? Don't use them. Mix and match peppers however you like, just be sure to use 3 of them. Also, I prefer Nellie and Joe's® lime juice because it's a bit more tart than regular bottled or fresh-squeezed lime juice, but if you can't find it that's fine, just use what you have.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I substituted diced mango in this recipe. It turned out great!

This salsa is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend removing the seeds from the jalapeño before chopping it.

I found this salsa to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices, such as cumin or chili powder.

This salsa is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

This salsa is a great way to add some extra vegetables to your diet. The rhubarb is a good source of fiber, and the tomatoes and jalapeño are packed with vitamins and minerals.

This salsa is a great way to use up extra rhubarb. It's also a nice change of pace from traditional salsa. I served it with grilled pork chops, and it was a perfect complement.

This tangy rhubarb salsa is a refreshing and unique twist on traditional salsa. The sweetness of the rhubarb pairs perfectly with the acidity of the tomatoes and the spiciness of the jalapeño. I served it with tortilla chips and grilled chicken, and
