Easy Cranberry-Apple-Jalapeno Salsa

The food processor comes in handy for Cranberry Apple Jalapeno Salsa but I often just chop everything on the cutting board. I like the appearance-and I like to chop. If you use the food processor, be sure to pulse and scrape often to prevent making a puree out of it!

Instructions

  • Pulse cranberries, apple, jalapeno pepper, and green onion in container of a food processor 3 or 4 times or until coarsely chopped, stopping to scrape down sides. Transfer to a bowl.

Notes

Frozen, thawed, cranberries produce the most beautiful red color in the salsa. Be sure to pat them dry with paper towels before chopping.
