Ingredients
2 cups seedless grapes, halved or quartered
1/2 cup fresh Anaheim chilies (or canned), diced
1/2 cup green onions (scallions), sliced thin
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder as substitute)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon hot sauce
Directions
Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and warm water before preparing the salsa.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the halved grapes, diced Anaheim chilies, sliced green onions, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro.
Add the vinegar, salt, and hot sauce to the bowl.
Gently stir all ingredients together until well combined.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, carefully drain away any excess liquid that has accumulated. Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and enjoy with grilled proteins or tortilla chips.
Comments
This is a straightforward salsa that checks most boxes for a Charlotte weeknight: grapes and green onions are standard at any supermarket, and the other ingredients—garlic, cilantro, vinegar, and salt—are pantry staples. Anaheim chilies are mild and seasonal but show up reliably at Harris Teeter and Kroger through fall; if you can't find them fresh, a substitute poblano works fine. At roughly 40 cents a serving for fresh produce, it's genuinely cheap, and the stated 15 minutes is honest—mostly dicing. The real caveat is yield: 16 servings means this is a potluck dish or condiment warmed over several days, not a weeknight side for four, so budget for it to live in the fridge and reheat unevenly. The flavor is bright and unusual, but the texture won't hold once dressed, so make it same-day if you want snap.
