Remember this salsa?
It now has a sibling.
It’s a little deceiving. It’s so sweet.
Yet so hot.
Well, not that hot. It’s definitely tolerable. At least to me.
This idea came to me a few nights ago when I was cutting cantaloupe for my kids – I couldn’t get it off my mind. I honestly can’t tell you why I absolutely had to use habanero pepper but it works.
It’s the bomb.com.
Oooohh that was cheesy.
Cantaloupe Habanero Salsa
Ingredients
- 2 cups cantaloupe, chopped
- 1/2 yellow onion
- 1/2 habanero pepper
- 1/2 jalapeno pepper
- 1 14 oz can petite diced tomatoes
- 1 handful fresh cilantro
- 3 tbsp white vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Put everything in a food processor and pulse until fine.
You could definitely skip using the food processor and chop by hand, which will give you a chunkier salsa like a pico.
Look at all this delicious fruity hotness…
You need this in your life.
