Red Grape Salsa on Crostini

Tasty, beautiful, and relatively healthy!

An interesting combination of diced grapes, cilantrol, anaheim chile, and red onion, with a bit of wine vinegar, cilantro (a lot of cilantro), salt and pepper.

This mixture is to be served on crostini with a smear of watered-down goat cheese.

The bright and light flavors of this, and its beautiful color from using red grapes, make it a natural for holiday parties.

Do be warned that the goat cheese - salsa ratio is off. The 1.5 lbs of grapes makes a lot of salsa, and the 4 oz of goat cheese -even when used very sparingly - was used up before even half the grape salsa was gone.

I served this with premade crostini, and it was an easy appetizer for a Christmas Eve party. Also - it lasts better than one might expect. Almost 24 hrs later, the grapes are still crunchy and the flavors bright.
