If you love fresh salsa but can’t find good tomatoes in winter, try this persimmon salsa instead! It’s made with Fuyu persimmons, which are crisp and sweet like apples or tomatoes. They add a wonderful flavor and texture to this easy and quick salsa that you can use on fish tacos, as a dip for chips, or as a topping for anything you like.
Fuyu persimmons are the round and flat ones that you can eat when they are still firm. You don’t need to peel them, just chop them up and toss them with some onion, jalapeno, lime juice, salt, cilantro, and optional pomegranate seeds. The pomegranate seeds add a festive touch and a burst of juicy sweetness.
This persimmon salsa is a great way to enjoy seasonal fruits in winter and brighten up your meals. It pairs well with these Smoky Fish Tacos, which are also easy to make and delicious. Or you can serve it with quesadillas, chips, or any other way you like.
Give this persimmon salsa a try and see how tasty it is. You’ll be surprised by how much flavor and freshness it adds to your dishes!
