Acar @ Salsa

I love a simple acar timun (cucumber pickle) ~ just cucumbers, shallots, chili, vinegar, sugar n salt ~ I would repeatedly 'visit' the kitchen if its made at home..hehe..

But nowadays I also love to make a different version of the acar for snacks, but this version needs my extra effort..haha..

Wanting to avoid dinner last night, I made this :

1 cucumber - diced
2 fresh tomatoes - diced
2 small apples - sliced
1 small onion - diced
Olives
Juice of half lemon
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Salt to taste.

[I always use cucumber and tomatoes, but sometimes I would add sweet corns, avocadoes (Cats.. ~ I'm avoiding making avocado/alpukat juice...hehe) or whatever leftover fruits that I think could blend in :-) ]

This version of acar is something similar to "salsa" (by definition : A spicy sauce of chopped, usually uncooked vegetables or fruit, especially tomatoes, onions, and chili peppers, used as a condiment. ~ to accompany Mexican food).

But there's also another definition for salsa ~ a popular form of Latin-American dance music.

mmmm...talking about Mexico, I think it was an upset result early this morning when the team beat France 2 - 0.

"New Manchester United signing Javier Hernandez inspired Mexico to a superb win over a poor France side last night, leaving the 2006 World Cup finalists on the brink of early elimination." ~ Mail Online.

(Mexican rave: Hernandez is mobbed by team-mates)
