Paradise Salsa (Aruban)

This is a delightfully fresh salsa with a slight kick, that is super tasty with jerk chicken, grilled seafood, quesadillas or warm corn chips (especially blue ones - the colours are fabulous together). Plus, it is super easy to make. This salsa is fairly mild, although the onion does pack some punch. I like it this way as a contrast to more spicy Mexican or Caribbean dishes and because it really allows the fruit flavours to shine. However, you can add some fresh jalapeño or other pepper if you want it more spicy.

2 Tbsp. onion, sliced
2 cups tomatoes, chopped into ¼" cubes
2 Serrano chilies, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. cilantro, finely chopped
1 tsp. sugar
¼ cup Mexican beer
2 tsp. sea salt
2 limes, freshly juiced

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Let sit in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Makes about 2 cups.
