Orange Salsa Recipe

Being that it is orange season and we are blessed to have a loaded tree in our garden, I decided to make a quick orange salsa perfect for a weeknight dinner and even game day. I mean, don’t you just wanna dive into that with a bag of chips right now ?! Me too!

I like to use blood oranges in this salsa , but really any orange variety works here. Use a mix if you have them. This is without a doubt, a taste as you go recipe, so make sure to balance the final tartness and sweetness of the dish to your own taste buds. Same goes for the chili pepper, at the end of the day it’s about how much heat you can handle!

I have days when I can’t get enough spices in there, and others where I barely throw in a few for garnish. Because I used blood oranges, I feel a touch of sweetness from honey balanced by a squeeze of lime is an extremely pleasant addition.
