Lychee Salsa, Litchi Salsa
by Tarla Dalal
This is a mind-blowing salsa that can be served with Lavash to make a delightful starter. An interesting combination of lychee, apples and spring onions perked up with apple cider, herbs and chillies, the Lychee Salsa has an interesting blend of flavours and textures.
Chop the fruits very finely because they are not going to be cooked, but just mashed with a potato masher. Refrigerate this salsa immediately on preparation and serve it chilled.
