Garden Salsa

For the gardener in each of us, springtime signals the start of a new planting season. I will be planting green onions, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, bell peppers and vine ripened heirloom tomatoes, brought back from the region where tomatoes got their start. If you can name that region in the comments section below, you will be entered into a drawing for your choice of one of the heirloom seed packets listed on this page.

Ingredients:

3 green onions

½ lime

¼ cup cilantro

4 jalapeno peppers

¼ teaspoon salt

1 green bell pepper

6 medium vine ripened tomatoes

Directions:

1. Coarsely chop onions, tomatoes and bell pepper

2. Place onion, bell pepper, cilantro, and jalapeno peppers into a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Add tomatoes, and pulse just a few times until the tomatoes are coarsely chopped.

3. Squeeze lime over tomatoes add salt and stir well. Wait 15 minutes and serve. Cover leftovers and refrigerate.

I encourage everyone to grow as much of their own produce as possible using quality, heirloom seeds. Then you too can grow vegetables like these.
