Ground Cherry Salsa

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.

Ingredients

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.
