Add the minced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, and lime juice to a large mixing bowl along with the kiwifruit and red onion. Gently mix it together, as to prevent this salsa from getting mushy. NOTE: Can I just point out that the term “fruit salsa” bothers me? The tomato is a fruit… so the distinction for fruit salsa seems a bit silly. Yet we think of the tomato as a veggie. Why? Well, in 1887, U.S. tariff laws imposed a tax on all imported vegetables, but not fruits. This put the spotlight on the ever confusing tomato. Yes, it’s a fruit… but from a culinary standpoint, it is prepared as a vegetable. Which is exactly what the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1893, declaring it a vegetable, as it is generally served with dinner, and not dessert.
