Apple Salsa

Our school has a salsa competition each fall. Last year I just brought in a bottle of homemade chili sauce. This year I decided to find something new and yummy. After searching for hours to find that special something tasty, I combined two recipes into one and this is the result. I'm calling it Apple Salsa.

3 cups Rome apples, diced (or something crunchy and a little tart/sweet)
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
1 Anaheim pepper, minced
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1-2 tbs cilantro, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
3-4 tbs honey
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix together the apples, peppers, red onion, walnuts and cilantro.
In separate bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey and garlic. Make sure honey is dissolved before pouring it over apple mixture. Add to apples, etc and blend well. Let it set in the fridge and marinate with each other for about an hour prior to serving.

I added salt and pepper to how I liked it after that. It took a little extra of this and that but I think this is as close as I can get. :)

This salsa was REALLY GOOD! I know because I ate a lot of it! Gary and Elaine would eat it also if they ever had real food.

Sounds wonderful and it looks beautiful! You MUST make it for me now! "Why don't you make it yourself?," you might be asking. Well, truth be told, I can only make pb&J and coconut cake. Everything else seems to bomb! HA HA!!
