This is really good! I made it once without the fennel because it was unavailable then again when I found it in a grocery store. Great both times! The flavors combine well and it looks nice. I have been eating this as a salad not salsa!
This salsa recipe is just so yummy and fresh for summer cooking! I had some fennel that I got from our local CSA that I needed to cook so I found this recipe here - thanks so much for posting it! It is fresh tasting a bit crunchy and is great either with pita crisps or other semi-salty chips OR even better served over grilled salmon or chicken! I added a bit of lime juice too and added an additional avocado and used a regular cucumber from the CSA too and it was perfect! I think you could also add a little dijon mustard (1/4 t. or so) or a dash or two of green Tabasco to kick it up a bit... but otherwise it's perfect as is! My semi-picky husband and 6-year-old daughter loved it too!
I belong to a farm share of which we sometimes get fennel in our share. Having no idea what to do with my fennel it said sadly in the back of the refrigerator. On a quest for salsa recipes (for all my tomatoes) I ran across this and gave it a try. Amazing! I've made it a couple of times for cookouts with rave reviews from the guests. My only change is that I used fresh lime juice in place of lemon juice and I left out the banana peppers.
I tossed this with arugula and had it as a salad and it was very good. I doubled the avocado and used shallot rather than red onion (I prefer the milder flavor) and I used a touch of olive oil to soften up the arugula. Next time I'll add more banana peppers for more of a tangy/sweet kick. A nice light flavorful dish!
This is freakin awesome!!!!!!! Thank you you wonderful women. It has changed my life!!!!!
I had fennel I got from the CSA program from a local farm. Having never used fennel before I didn't know what to do with it until I came across this recipe. FANTASTIC! It's light fresh crisp and perfect for hot summer days! Everyone loved it and now they are even requesting I bring it to BBQ's! I used lime juice instead of lemon though as I read in other reviews. We ate it with pita chips. I will definietly make this a summertime staple.:o)
This was a great combo of flavors. I made it without the avocado and the peppers as I didn't have those. We had it with tortillas warmed refried beans and falafel.
Yummy! The only changes I made were using shallots instead of onion and agave instead of honey. Eating it with a spoon!
Just made this for a Salsa contest for Cinco de Mayo - and I took 2nd place! It is wonderful blend of flavors - worth 10 stars!!
I left out the avocado & banana peppers & I did not like it this way. As I made it the cilantro tasted very strong (and I normally love cilantro!). This recipe seems pretty forgiving so I would like to try it again with avocado & less cilantro.
