Back when I lived in Boston the gang and I usually made a stop at the Delux Cafe at least once a week. If we ate, I always had the chips and fruit salsa — this is my homage to those nights of little bites and cheap drinks in a smoky bar.

1/2 red onion finely chopped
1 clove garlic finely minced
1 jalapeño pepper finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
1 small apple finely chopped
1 plum or nectarine finely choped
1 cup red grapes halved
2 or 3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
juice of about 1/2 lime
salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients and store in the fridge for a few hours before eating to allow all the flavors to marry. I like to serve with freshly fried flour tortilla wedges.
