In today’s blog, I will share the recipe for a very simple, yet flavorful salsa that is made with persimmons (for more details on persimmons, visit my blog here).
I am a big lover of the spicy Mexican salsa that is made with dry red chilies roasted in oil. I made this version of the salsa with the ripe fuyu persimmons in my pantry and it came out so good.
Persimmon Chili Salsa
Heavenly tasting fruity and spicy salsa made with ripened fuyu persimmons, roasted red chilies, raw garlic and lime juice.
