i am trying to stick to my "one recipe per week" thing, but was pretty busy last week trying to make arrangements for a death in the family. so, in the spirit of taking it easy and eating healthy, i made yummy yum yum salsa that makes you feel happy and 50 years younger, which may or may not be a good thing when you're only 24 yrs old.
Step one, ingredients.
i used a standard sized food processor and for one batch i mixed:
*1/3 yellow onion
*1/3 red onion
*1/2 of a bunch of cilantro
*squeeze of lemon
*1 Jalapeno
*3 or 4 cloves of garlic
*6 or 7 tomatoes
(after blending my first batch, i poured half into a bowl and blended the other half with half an avocado. i only blended half a batch with avo because it perishes much quicker)
Step 2: assemble.
Step 3: blend.
Step 4: tastey.
all done. avocado salsa in background. i hate the lighting in this kitchen!
alright, now for some tips from Gina:
*she said to use a variety of produce if you can.
*she likes to add bell peppers, preferably the yellow, orange or red ones. i don't like them in salsa, so i didn't add.
* she also says its best to grill the jalapeno peppers, which makes them even spicier... alas, i have no grill.
i love Gina. i love friends. i love food. i love fresh salsa.
