This citrus habanero salsa is made with a variety of citrus fruits: oranges, grapefruit, blood orange, mandarins or
tangerines, and kumquats. This chunky citrus salsa also has habanero peppers, diced red onion, ground cumin and
chopped cilantro. This is a great salsa to make during the colder months when all these yummy citrus fruits are in

or quinoa salad with
pickled onions
season. Also, dont let the idea of using habaneros scare you, most of their heat is in the veins (and the seeds since

{Achiote marinated
meat}
theyre attached to the veins). If you remove the seeds and veins, and use gloves to do so, the habanero will still be
spicy, but significantly less. Habaneros have a delicious flavor that goes great with citrus. I used about 2-3 peppers for
this citrus salsa, but you can adjust based on your comfort level with spice. You can also use different chili peppers if
you cant find habaneros.

You can also adjust the types of citrus fruits in the recipe based on what you can find and also what you like. The
grapefruit does add a hint of bitterness to the salsa, which I really like, but if you dont like that citrusy bitterness then
you might replace the grapefruit with another orange or an orange plus a mandarin. I peeled all the citrus except for the
kumquats their skin in very thin. I cut the oranges and grapefruit into supreme style segments since it makes them
easier to eat this way. The mandarins can be peeled and sliced or cut into small pieces. You can do the same, or
segment them all. This habanero citrus salsa is perfect with seafood; I served it with grilled rockfish. I also mixed some
with simple guacamole for a quick citrus guacamole dip.

Laylita,
Another hit! This salsa is great! Its a gloomy rainy day here in Southern Cali and this dish is beautiful and
it really brightened our lunch! The taste is like a fruit ceviche, the combo of flavors is different and tasty.
Thanks for supplying another hit!
