Bosc pears make a fantastic ingredient for a unique salsa. They have their own delicately sweet flavor without being too sweet, are crunchy and so maintain their structure even when chopped into a salsa, and work well with herbs and spices.
The brightness that mint adds to this recipe is not to be under estimated -- it really is a key ingredient. However, mint can be overwhelming, so feel free to add a little at a time, tasting as you go to make sure you don't overpower the other flavors with mint.
