International Produce

Pepino Salsa

About the Recipe

Ingredients

Pepino melons are similar in taste to cantaloupes, honeydew melons, and cucumbers.
These have a golden-yellow flesh when ripe. They taste slightly bitter and their sizes are inconsistent. Some are as small as plums and some are as large as papayas.
Pepino melons pair well with basil, mint, ginger, salt, and white wine.

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, and chili flakes. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, add pepino, grapes, figs, scallions, and pecans then stir to incorporate.
Add honey-balsamic mixture, toss to coat, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add fresh mint to taste.
Serve immediately.
