Fresh salsa combines the bright flavors of papaya, pineapple, lime, and chiles with the sweet crunch of jicama and red onion. It is fast and easy to make as well as colorful. Use as a garnish for fish, pork, or poultry.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup ripe papaya, diced
  • 3/4 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 3/4 cup diced jicama
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 serrano or jalapeno chile pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 teaspoons grated lime zest (use a microplane)
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon minced chives
  • 1 Tablespoon minced cilantro

Preparation:
