Tomato Salsa with Fruit Recipe
Classic tomato salsa is a wonderful thing, no doubt about it. It is a staple at snacks and meals and there is admittedly a lot of variety even within this single subcategory of salsa. However, sometimes you cannot resist trying to improve on a classic. While the results may not ever supplant the original, there are undeniably some variations on this tried and true theme, which are well worth making.
For example many cooks enjoy mixing things up by adding some different ingredients to your salsa, such as in the following tomato salsa with fruit recipe. This recipe adds peaches, pineapple, and tart green apple to the usual blend of tomatoes, onions, and jalapeno peppers, with spectacular results.
Bursting with fresh fruit flavors which perfectly complement the tomatoes and other, more traditional salsa ingredients, it is hard to imagine anyone not loving this salsa. It may not become your standby tortilla chip dipping salsa, but as a change of pace from the usual, this tomato salsa with fruit recipe is one well worth trying out.
Tomato, Peach, Pineapple, and Apple Salsa
Ingredients -
1 peach, peeled and diced
1 granny smith apple, cored and diced (optionally, you may peel it as well)
1 cup pineapple, diced (fresh is better, but canned will do)
3 large tomatoes, diced
1 red onion, diced
1 jalapeno, diced (adjust quantity to taste)
Juice of 2 limes
½ tsp cumin
A pinch of sugar
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Preparation:
This tomato salsa with fruit recipe involves a little more prep time than some other salsas, but don't let that discourage you; it's actually pretty easy to make.
Start by peeling the peach and pineapple (if you are using fresh pineapple) and coring the apple. Dice the fruit and add to a large bowl.
Dice the onion, tomato, and jalapeno and add to the fruit. Squeeze the limes over the salsa, add cumin, sugar, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Refrigerate the salsa for a few hours or overnight before serving, since this will greatly improve the flavor - though it is OK to have a little right away if you just cannot wait.
