Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Apricot Salsa
  1. Start by washing and drying four ripe apricots. Carefully dice them into small cubes and place them in a medium bowl. Next, chop one jalapeño and finely dice half a red onion. Mince two garlic cloves and a small handful of cilantro, then add all these vibrant ingredients to the bowl.
  2. Gently stir the diced apricots, jalapeño, red onion, garlic, and cilantro together in the bowl. Ensure everything is evenly mixed for a balanced flavor that highlights the sweetness of the apricots and the heat from the jalapeño.
  3. Drizzle two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar over the mixed ingredients in the bowl. Carefully toss the mixture to fully incorporate the vinegar.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let your Apricot Salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Once chilled, give your Apricot Salsa a final stir before serving. Spoon it over grilled fish, chicken, or set it out as a dip with tortilla chips.
