I double checked the citrus salsa recipe, and it doesn't call for any chilies, but you could always add a jalapeno or some crushed red chilies, whatever heat you prefer, if you prefer.

What would you serve these with? Fish? I have very ripe pineapple to be used..I will hit the store for mango!

Kathy
You can serve peach salsa with pork loin
mango salsa or a tomato salsa would go nicely with fish and yes chips would probably go with all salsas
ops I mentioned peach salsa might as well give you the recipe

3 1/2 c diced peeled peaches
1/4 c red onion diced
2 tab fresh cilantro chpped

MamaSue, that is exactly what I look like when I drink all my water! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif I love salsas..can't wait to try all of these!

[Beth]

I have had the fruit salsas mostly with fish, but they could go with just about any grilled or roasted meat, especially with a little chili rub or some lemon or lime juice.

I think I either had or have seen a pineapple salsa that is along the same lines as these. If anyone has a recipe, please post.

Thanks. That sounds like what I remembered. I also found another pineapple salsa -- 1 small pineapple (cut in half and the fruit remove to create serving shells if you like), 1 med. red oinion chopped, 3/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro (sound like overkill to me), 1 T. white wine vinegar, and 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce. The one you had sounds fresher and better looking.

Beth,
I tried your recipe for the melon salsa and it was wonderful. Went great as a side for grilled steak. I added some blueberries for a second serving - yummy. I'm just not sure how this recipe gets to be 455 calories a serving - is that some kind of computer error? How big is the serving size?

[Beth]

Ellie, I like the idea of adding blueberries. actually, you can keep throwing fruits together and I'm usually happy.

I noticed the calorie count, and that seemed high even for the whole recipe. I haven't really learned how to input the ingredients so MasterCook recognizes all of them. I noticed in one recipe that it assume a couple of Tbsp butter was one whole, whatever that is. A pound? Basically, I dunno. Glad you liked it.
