Pear Pomegranate Salsa
This is an easy pear pomegranate salsa recipe with fresh mango, honey, cilantro and lemon juice. It’s one of those fruit salsa recipes you will make over and over again. Plus, it’s light and made from scratch!
Ingredients
- 1 mango (ripe, medium-sized)
- 1 red onion (small)
- 2 pears
- cilantro (to taste, see note 1)
- 1 pomegranate (large, seeds only)
- honey (to taste)
- 1 lemon (small, juice only)
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
- fresh chili (mild, optional, see note 2)
Instructions
- Finely chop the mango, onion, pears and cilantro. Deseed the pomegranate. Transfer all these ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix.
- Add honey, freshly squeezed lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper and thinly sliced fresh chili (if using). Give everything a good mix. Taste and add more seasoning if needed.
Notes
- If you don’t like cilantro, use parsley instead or omit it completely.
- Any color chili, any type but make sure not to add too much. Your guests may have a different level of heat tolerance!
- This recipe could feed more than 6. This depends on how much of salsa each person takes in one go and also if other appetizers are served alongside the salsa as well. I counted with ⅓ cup of salsa per person.
- Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days (in a sealed container).
- You can make it several hours ahead and store it in the fridge until ready to serve.
