Mango Pomegranate Salsa

http://www.paperplatesblog.com/blog/2012/07/30/inspired-recipe-mango-pomegranate-murder-salsa

MANGO-POMEGRANATE "MURDER" SALSA

Ingredients
  • 1 mango
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 pomegranate
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1 lime
  • salt
  • honey (to taste)
Directions
Chop the mango and red pepper into evenly sized bits, about half an inch in size, and place in a bowl.
Slice open the pomegranate and remove the seeds from the white pith (membrane). With any luck, it'll bleed, making it the perfect ingredient for "murder" salsa. Place seeds into the bowl.
Finely dice one whole jalapeno. You can remove the seeds to reduce heat, or leave them in for added kick. Add into the bowl.
Score the open side of the onion half, using your knife to make shallow cuts vertically and horizontally. Then, slice the scored side, giving you a very fine onion dice. Add onion to taste.
Roll up a handful of cilantro and dice into a chiffonade, giving you fine ribbons of cilantro. Chop again for a finer dice. Add to your bowl.
Add the juice of one lime and a half a teaspoon of salt.
If your fruit is not quite ripe, add honey to taste.
Mix ingredients in bowl, making sure everything is well-distributed. Grab some tortilla chips and enjoy!
