Fresh salsa on  steak, grilled chicken, or seafood is so delicious.  Its a brightly flavoured, concentrated  burst of  uplifting sweet heat to highlight the meat, and yet delicate enough not to overpower it.

I never realized how easy it was to make salsa, till I found a few recipes and realized it was basically a matter of chopping.  Really? Thats it?  Yeesh.  I should do this more often.

I think the salsa below goes super well with a variety of meats, and its great because you never expect raw rhubarb in there.  I would say that next time I make it,  I’d add more mango, some basil, more ginger, and cut back on the  pepper and cut out the onions.  But thats just because I love basil – as it is, the recipe below is super. Trust me, if its anything my dad will try, its good.  :)
