Crunchy Pear Salsa
- 3 8-ounce firm but ripe Bosc pears, peeled, cored, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 large serrano or jalapeno chili with seeds, minced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Combine all ingredients in medium bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- (Can be made 3 hours ahead.
- Cover; chill.)
- Mexican limes, sold at Latin American markets and some supermarkets, are especially good in this recipe because they are sweeter and more fragrant than Persian limes (the more familiar variety).
- Mexican limes are also referred to as Key limes, which are available at Melissa's (melissas.com; 800-588-0151).
