Grape Salsa



Another good one from Libby! I first had this recipe when I went down to Baton Rouge last summer. I could not stop eating it! It's very different but good. Think mango or pineapple salsa... sweet flavor. The colors are amazing together too!! Great, bright dish for the summer (and it's healthy). Beware, it makes a big batch! Try it over chicken or pork.

1 bunch seedless green grapes, cut into halves (I quartered the big ones)
1 bunch seedless red grapes, cut into halves
1 pint grape tomatoes (i cut these too)
1/2 to 1 purple onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red, yellow or orange bell pepper, chopped (I use 1/2 of all 3)
1 bunch cilantro, stems removed and chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, finely chopped 
1 jalapeno chile, seeded and chopped
Juice of 6 limes (scrape a little pulp in there too)
Olive oil to taste

Combine the grapes, tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, cilantro, garlic and jalapeno chile in a bowl and mix well.  Add the lime juice and olive oil and toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Serve as an appetizer with corn chips or as a side salad.







Enjoy!!
