Grilled Apple Salsa
A delicious autumnal topping to grilled chicken pork, or steak! Grilled apples, Serrano peppers, spices, and cilantro. Yum!
Servings: 3 cups
Ingredients
- 3 apples sliced into ¼ inch slabs, reserving some to chop raw for the salsa (choose your favorite: I used Honeycrisp and Granny Smith)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon cumin divided
- ½ teaspoon chili powder divided
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup red onion chopped
- 1 serrano pepper minced (ribs and seeds removed if you prefer less spice)
- 2 Tbsp cilantro chopped
- 1-2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- Salt and freshly cracked pepper
Instructions
- Heat your grill over medium high heat. Brush apple slabs with olive oil and combine ¼ teaspoon cumin, ¼ teaspoon chili powder, garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and freshly cracked pepper. Top each apple slice evenly, and place on grill. Cook until charred on both sides, but be careful to not overcook (the apples will soften quickly). Remove from grill and allow to slightly cool as you prepare the other ingredients.
- Combine red onion, serrano pepper, cilantro, apple cider vinegar, ½ teaspoon cumin, ¼ teaspoon chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add reserved chopped raw apple. Chop cooled grilled apple into bite sized pieces and add to the bowl. Toss completely to combine.
- Serve with grilled chicken, steak, or pork, or serve as a savory and spicy salad with your favorite summer meal.
