This is similar to the method of the mango salsa, just with cherries...which are also in season now. Fresh, wild cherries are so flavorful and are loaded with antioxidants and vitamins. As a runner, cherries or cherry juice are among the best things to consume. Wild Cherries went on a huge sale here at Whole Foods, so we stocked up, made some fresh dishes and froze the rest for smoothies later.
Cherry Salsa
1 lb fresh wild cherries, de-stemmed and pitted, diced
1 shallot, finely diced (you could also use red onion)
2 fresh limes, zested and juiced
2-3 tsp ground cumin (adjust to your liking!)
salt and pepper to taste
Cilantro, chopped (optional)
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and combine well. Taste for adjustment to salt, pepper and cumin to your liking. Refrigerate for a few hours for the flavors to marry. Serve with quesodillas, burritos, grilled chicken, whatever! This can really be customized to your liking, so play with the flavors and even ingredients
