We always like to use green apples in Latin salsas. Their crunch and freshness remind us of jicama, a favorite vegetable of Chris’s that holds its juicy, crisp texture beautifully when chopped into salads. This chunky combo is best as an accompaniment to pork, fish, or chicken.

| 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and diced small | 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro | |
| 1/2 red onion, peeled and diced small | 1 teaspoon ground cumin | |
| 2 tablespoons minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce | Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste | |
| Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons) |
Combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and mix well. This salsa is best served right away, but will keep, covered and refrigerated, for 2–3 days.
