I took this to a party with black bean and rice and it was a hit. I used what I had on hand so lemon instead of lime, parsley instead of cilantro and sugar. Still delicious. An excellent salsa option in winter in locations with lots of good apples but no good tomatoes. Be sure to add the toasted walnuts.

This has become my go-to pot luck contribution because it is so easy and never fails to please almost everyone. Super healthy. Add shrimp and call it dinner. Add cabbage and call it salad.

Made this for an apple themed pot luck at work. It was a hit! It absolutely needed overnight for the flavors to meld together. I tried it right when I made it and it just tasted like apples. But, in the morning the flavors really came together.

This was great. I served it with the duck legs but I can see serving it with many things. I added the leftovers to our green salad the next night and it was great in that.

Very Good. I made as directed, used sugar instead of cider syrup and fish sauce instead of salt, which gives it a Vietnamese twist. Great on fish tacos.

Absolutely delicious! I was skeptical but the flavors go together so well. I used 1/4 green pepper instead of poblano and no jalapeño. It tasted fresh, smelled divine, and was a great recipe to use up plenty of produce around my house. Highly recommend — I’ll be adding this into my rotation.
