- 1 cup pitted dark sweet cherries
- 1/2 yellow or orange bell pepper
- ½ jalapeno pepper
- ½ small red onion
- large handful cilantro
- large handful parsley

Finely dice the cherries, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, and onion. Finely chop the cilantro and parsley. Then, toss all of the ingredients with the lime juice and a pinch of salt and pepper.
