Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 whole tamarillos - peeled, stemmed, and diced (see Video in Post)
  • ¾ cup fresh citrus juice - see Ingredients above or Notes below for suggestions
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chiles, minced - more or less to taste*
  • ¼ cup chopped onion - scallions or shallot
  • ½ cup fresh herbs (cilantro, mint, basil, parsley) - chopped
  • sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the tamarillo by removing the skin and stem (see video in post). Do a fairly small dice.
  • Dice and mince all of the fresh ingredients.
  • Add the fresh-squeezed citrus juice to the prep bowl. Stir to combine. Season with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Adjust as needed.

Notes

Citrus can either be all lime juice or a combination of citrus - oranges, grapefruit, lemon, Meyer lemon, and lime.
* Chiles can be hot! Use fresh chile that you're familiar with - green or red jalapeños, Fresno chiles, serranos, etc. Substitute sweet bell pepper if you want to avoid any heat.
