Bing Cherry Salsa


If you've been following me this last week, you know how crazy I am for cherries. This salsa is one of my favorite things to make with fresh bing cherries. It is loaded with antioxidants and phytonutrients. It's colorful and pretty. Best of all, it tastes fabulous.
My recipe uses only 1/2 of a jalapeno pepper, because I do not like too much heat. Feel free to crank it up and add more if you like. Serve with tortilla chips, whole wheat pita bread, or add to a salad.

Bing Cherry Salsa

In a bowl combine:
1 1/2 c. pitted, quartered bing cherries
1/4 c. diced red onion
1/4 c. diced red pepper
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 of a jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced fine
1/2 T. lime juice
1/2 T. balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp. sea salt
sprinkle of black pepper

Here's another cherry recipe you may have missed.

What a great idea - add just a bit of tart sweetness with the heat - sounds delicious!

I have to tell you, I made this last night and my husband and I more or less inhaled it!

So tasty and summery. I loved it.
