apple & cucumber salsa
 |
Ingredients
White onion, cucumber, apple, fennel, radish, lime, white wine vinegar |
It's no secret that I LOATHE onions. Nothing on this earth could induce me to eat them raw, or to eat something that is intentionally onion flavoured. They are a base ingredient, not a flavour in their own right as far as I'm concerned.
Salsa, to me manages to escape the curse of the onion due to the chilli and in this case, the onions take a back seat to the sweetness and freshness of the other ingredients. A great summer salsa, try it in a wrap with soured cream, melted cheese and BBQ'd chicken.
1) Finely dice the onion and pour over a tablespoon of white wine vinegar and the juice of 1 lime. Leave to rest for 10 minutes.
2) Finely dice the cucumber, apple, fennel and radish and stir into the onions.
3) I like to drain off most of the juice, but this is entirely a matter of taste.
