A fresh apple salsa that combines tart apples with chile peppers, lime juice, cilantro, toasted walnuts, and ginger. A great appetizer!
Excellent. It's a great combo of sweet and spicy. I used different kinds of peppers and put in only a little bit of ground ginger. It is still delicious after almost a week in the fridge. Later note - this salsa won 3rd place in a salsa competition last night!

I made this for appetizers at Thanksgiving, and served with butter crackers. It was a hit! I even mixed some with a little cream cheese and sour cream as a sort of cheese ball and it's great that way too!
I don't think this recipe is going to please everybody, but we liked it. Admittedly, a tomatillo-based salsa is our absolute favorite, but this was good for a change. I used a very green Granny Smith apple. The flavors worked well. Thanks!
I just made this salsa and I think it is absolutely fabulous. The sweetness in the apples contrasting with the hot peppers is an amazing sensation! The fresh ginger definitely gives this salsa a different twist. I had a couple of tomatoes which I diced up as well to add color and I used 4 chili peppers instead of the 2 suggested. Delightful!
I didn't use the fresh peppers - instead I used about 1/2 tsp of Cheyenne pepper. You really need to let this salsa sit for about 2 hours for the mixture to blend properly. Also - one can reduce the amount of onion. It went well with a grilled chiken kabobs that were seasoned with salt and pepper. This really added the flavor to the meal. I agree with a previous reviewer - its not for everyone, but I really enjoyed the unique combinations of flavors.
Wow, 5 stars for taste, originality, and especially =YUM= the use of cilantro! I've had all kinds of mango or pineapple salsas before, but this was a first. :o)
Best ever. I was hesitant about this because I wasn't sure if it was going to be good, but it was amazing, and a perfect side to serve to guests with dinner. I loved the range of flavours. I used red onion because you didn't specify. This is going to be a favorite. Thanks for sharing!
Very tasty. If I make it again I'll decrease the amount of ginger-- probably halve it. And I felt that a splash of agave nectar (maybe because my apples were very tart) was a nice addition.
excellent! so different and unique. Although, i did not use 2 apples, I used just 1 and kept all other quantities the same. Goes great with tostitos scoops.
I loved it. Next time I think I might try to make it a little spicier.
Holy !!! A delightful contrast of heat with the tartness of apple....(and I mean heat!!!) I had to use dry cilantro (not to my desire) but it worked out just as well. For my friends who love all varieties of salsa, this was a hit!!
So delicious! We used two jalapenos and omitted the Anaheim chile, and also left out the walnuts, and served with barbecued pork chops. I can't wait to make it for guests.
What an amazing flavor combo salsa, totally outside the box of your ordinary salsas. Thank you so much for this recipe. I was making the roasted cauliflower soup from this site and thought what about a special grilled cheese sandwich to go with it. I typed in apple & onion and presto this popped up. I reviewed all the ingredients, PERFECT... I was off and ready to rock and roll. When testing it all the flavor high notes I was looking for. I used a sprouted bread with a goat cheese. Totally amazing. My only ingredients difference was hubs had some fresh pickled onions that I used vs. raw onion. I forgot the salt which was ok by me since the cheese and bread supplied enough and when eating it by the spoonful I didn’t miss it at all. Thank you again for such a great recipe.
