Peel the kiwis and dice them into small, bite-sized pieces. Place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Wash and deseed the red bell pepper. Finely dice the bell pepper and add it to the bowl with the kiwi.
Peel and finely chop half of a medium red onion. Add it to the mixing bowl.
Carefully deseed the jalapeño for a milder salsa (or leave the seeds for extra heat), then finely chop it. Add the chopped jalapeño to the bowl.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and add 2 tablespoons to the bowl for a pop of fresh flavor.
Zest the lime lightly with a microplane, then cut it in half and juice it. Add both the lime zest and juice to the bowl.
Season the salsa with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss everything gently but thoroughly to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For more heat, add additional diced jalapeño. For added sweetness, stir in a drizzle of honey or agave.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a topping for grilled chicken, or pack into a lunch box for a zesty midday treat!
