Pomegranate Pear Pico (salsa)

Holed up in a snow-covered cabin in the woods of southern Missouri is the last place I would have expected to discover this amazing salsa recipe. But I've got fantastic food-loving friends (thanks to rachel and marion for this one), so I shouldn't be too surprised.

We ate (actually we devoured) this light and sweet salsa with black bean and sweet potato nachos, but I'm sure it would be great with just about anything - tacos, burritos, tortilla chips...when we got too full of nachos, we ate the last of the salsa on its own by the spoonful.

Pomegranate Pear Pico (salsa)
2 pomegranates (fruit jewels removed from skin)
1 chopped pear
1 finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
Juice from one lime
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix ingredients. Devour immediately.*

*rachel claims this salsa is even better if you wait a day to eat it (giving the ingredients time to marinate) but how you could hold off eating this salsa for a day is beyond me.
