1, finely diced (optional for heat)

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground

Salt

1/2 teaspoon, to taste

Lime juice

2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed

Cilantro

1/4 cup, chopped

Red onion

Tomatoes

2 cups, diced (preferably ripe and juicy)

Kiwi

2, peeled and diced

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced kiwi, tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, and jalapeno (if using) to create a colorful mixture.
2. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, enhancing the flavors of the ingredients.
3. Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to mash the kiwi to maintain its texture.
