FIERY FRUIT SALSA

SERVES 6-8

Though Fiery Fruit Salsa used to be my favorite salsa, I hadn’t made it in years because it called for a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce. The ingredients in canned chipotle peppers are often questionable; some even contain wheat flour. This salsa would not be the same without these smoky peppers, which I now make from scratch (Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce).

The smoky heat of the chipotle pepper perfectly complements the sweetness of the pineapple perfectly.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups/400 g chopped fresh pineapple

2 Roma tomatoes, chopped

1 small red onion, diced (approximately ¼ cup/40 g)

1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped

1 tbsp/15 ml of adobo sauce

2 tbsp/30 ml extra-virgin olive oil

juice of 1 orange

juice of ½ lime

2 large avocados, chopped

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Combine all ingredients, except avocado, in a medium-sized bowl. When all ingredients are combined, fold in avocado without smashing.
