Apple season is coming, and if you're like me, you can't wait to pick up a bunch from the farmer's market. If you're looking for a quick dish to share at your next gathering, try this apple salsa recipe, adapted from Rena Wren's original.
As you enjoy your fresh salsa, consider giving the gift of tree seedlings to a family in need through our gift catalog.
(Optional)
Put the apple chunks in small food processor until chopped well. Transfer to a medium sized bowl. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the apples to help keep them from browning.
Slice the tomatoes into small cubes.
Dice some yellow or sweet onion to taste (about a tablespoon), and finely chop one clove of garlic.
Put tomatoes, onion and garlic in food processor and chop until you get the consistency you prefer.
Transfer to the bowl with apples and mix well.
Season to taste: try salt, pepper, dash of cumin, cilantro, and some cajun seasoning for a kick. You can always add some fresh pepper of your choice. Add a dash of raw stevia for a little sweetness.
Mix well and serve chilled with your favorite chips and dipping veggies.
