[CH] salsa experiment!

At the grocery store yesterday, I saw some gorgeous habs, so of course, I
had to pick some up. Since it was a pretty day, about 15-20 friends came
over for beer and barbecue... so I got creative with salsa. The big hit of
the gathering was (don't laugh!) an Apple-Habanero creation adapted from a
Mango-Habanero salsa recipe. It was a small batch, but I was forced to make
more. Hey, use what you have on hand and see where it takes you. Somebody
will usually eat it. :)
(amounts approximate)
2 apples (they were smallish, with crisp flesh)
2 habs, washed and de-seeded
about half a red onion
fresh cilantro
lime
salt
Dice the apples into fairly small pieces. Run the habaneros, onion, a little
lime zest, and cilantro through the food processor, with lime juice. Toss
this with the apple pieces, and more lime juice to get the right
consistency. Salt to taste. Everyone ate it on tortilla chips with gusto!
Of course, they were all drinking a lot of beer... so who knows? :)
Anyway, that's it! Suggestions for improvements/etc. are welcomed!
