Why I Love This Recipe

The Un-salsa Salsa, High Protein, Fresh Flavors

My husband does not like the flavor of chili peppers, but likes the heat. He won't eat tomatoes (except tomato sauce.) He also won't eat onions.

I came up with this version of a fresh chopped salsa using flavors that he does like--with the added temptation of: "It's got protein* honey!" (He lifts weights. Those weight lifters...they certainly dig that protein stuff.)

Unfortunately, it was so good, I ate it all myself...oopsie.

It is also yet another great way to use up the ripe Asian pears in the garden.

*as compared to traditional salsa.

Serving Suggestions:

Grilled Sockeye Salmon Fillet With Peppered Lime Butter & Asian Pear Salsa

Crispy Black Bean Salad

*Ground Habanero Chili Pepper can be found at The Spice House.
