Yup, fruit salsa is great, the variation that we use includes kernal corn, yellow mango, (not quite ripe so there is tang)pineapple and avacado with more or less your same marinade. Scrumptious!

Hello! This is the first time I visited your website. Congratulations! It’s wonderful to find someone who writes about Manila’s beautiful side. I love taking pictures of food,flowers and palengkes. My favorite would be the Baguio “bagsakan” or wholesale section. Have you been there?It is an awsome site to see. Giant size “kaings” of broccoli,tomatoes, watercress, name it! they have it!
Well, again congratulations and looking forward to visiting this website soon, Ciao!

Karen, Rustan’s Rockwell often carries fresh jalapenos that are excellent for salsa. Gil Carandang at the Salcedo market occasionally carries it as well. The fresh ones have real bite. I have never purchased the bottled ones here as I don’t really use too many of them. The bottled ones are really more like pickled ones. Perhaps Cash & Carry or Unimart might have the canned ones?

i prefer using jalapeno peppers in my salsa. if they’re not available, what is a good subtitute?

Glad so many thought this was a clever mix. Actually, if you just mix flavors and textures and chilli you can develop new mixes that will amuse… Just remember, balance the flavors. Riza, I am a tail end Leo and not a Virgo. And people tell me LEO is a good stereotype. Bayi, pomelo works better than grapefruit.
