Granny Smith Salsa is a classic salsa with a sweet crunch – nutritious and versatile. Serve with chips, meats, cheese, just about anything.
Here we have an interesting variation on classic salsa. Diced Granny Smith apples add a sweet-tart crunch – definitely another dimension. This is good with plain old tortilla chips or as an accent to a variety of dishes. I’d put it on top of meats, with cheese or dips, as a side with lunch or dinner, whereever.
One gotcha – this is definitely better served within about 6 hours of preparation. And be sure to refrigerate it until serving.
I made this with 505 Southwestern Green Chile. It’s also very good with minced jalapeno. Hope you like it – let me know if you have interesting ways to serve it.
