    I first had apple salsa from a food van at a market in the grounds of Nottingham castle. I had some friends who made jewellery, and they had a stall there one weekend, I was living just around the corner in the park, so I took a walk down, had a good mooch about and sampled as many of the food vans as I could.

    I ate a delicious crispy chilli squid wrap, packed with a bright, sweet and sour apple salsa!! It was delicious!

    You want to pick a nice crisp green apple. I like to use granny smiths, the crisp flesh and slightly tart flavour are perfect for this dish.

    The addition of pomegranate adds some sweetness but another level of sour fruit. I love pomegranate seeds. They are so beautiful, like little shining jewels in your dinner. But they can be a bit of a pain! All those tiny seeds!!! The way I remove the seeds is to cut the fruit in half, hold it over a bowl and use a wooden spoon to whack the skin. The tiny red jewels rain out. So easy!

    This salsa is jam packed with flavour. And jam packed full of fruit and veg. Which makes it healthy! So you can eat it without guilt.

    Serve it with your favourite chips and enjoy.

      Hi Claire! I love apples in salsa and salads! And this salsa sounds so good with all the different flavors going on! I've never actually worked with a pomegranate..I've had it, just never bought one. Guess I'll have to change that!

        They can be a bit messy 😉 After I have opened one, I often have to scrub the grout on the kitchen tiles! The juice seems to gravitate toward the hard to clean places!!!! 😉
