Kiwifruit Salsa

A zesty salsa, delicious with BBQ meats, tempeh or salmon.

Kiwifruit salsa is a quick and easy side dish that looks delectable and has a tanginess that compliments protein dishes.

Serve it with grilled or baked salmon or other fish, BBQ meats or even marinated tempeh or tofu. You could even try it with fish or tofu tacos or burritos.

Here I’ve served kiwifruit salsa over honey-glazed salmon.

Vary it

I try to offer alternatives for my recipes so that dishes can be made in different seasons and countries.

For example, mangos are imported to New Zealand, so they may not always be a feasible option. However, there are alternative summer fruits that would work well in this salsa, such as peaches, nectarines or apricots.

Don’t feel limited to the recipe, and get creative. Taste test as you go to check that the flavours work together.

Another addition that would be delicious in or alongside this salsa is avocado, either diced or sliced.
