Salsa Recipes

[Trek420]

Chopped tomatoes and/or tomatillos, onion, cilantro, hot pepper of your choice, salt. Crushed or minced garlic if that's your fancy. Maybe a little lime juice if the tomatoes are low acid. Mix it all together.

That's pretty much it. Finely chopped stuff. Once you have a handle on a basic salsa play with variations: fire roast the tomatoes and/or peppers, throw in some corn, blue corn is fun, finely chopped squash, heirloom tomatoes and or yellow tomatoes for color, vary the peppers for color and heat (just wear gloves when you prep the hot stuff), add fruit - I've enjoyed salsas based on peaches, watermelon or other melon varieties, strawberries ...

roasted tomatillo salsa though remains my favorite
