Green Apple Salsa Recipe
Pork and apple go together like wine and Friday night. I figured a tart and spicy green apple salsa would complement the rich, fatty and spicy pork carnitas. This recipe makes more than you will probably need for your carnitas, but leftovers are great the next day tossed into a simple arugula salad.
