Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh cherries
• 0.25 cups red onion
• 1 whole jalapeño pepper
• 0.25 cups cilantro leaves
• 1 whole lime
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt

Directions

Step 1

Pit and roughly chop the fresh cherries into small pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the cherries.

Step 3

Seed and finely dice the jalapeño pepper (for less heat, leave out the seeds) and add it to the bowl.

Step 4

Chop the cilantro leaves finely and stir them into the mixture.

Step 5

Zest the lime and then juice it. Add both the zest and juice to the bowl for a burst of tangy flavor.

Step 6

Drizzle the honey over the mixture and sprinkle with kosher salt.

Step 7

Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice or salt if necessary.

Step 9

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or tacos. For best flavor, let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving.
