Salsa, for everything!

Salsa is one of those condiments, or sauces, if you like that nomenclature more, that is almost universal. A good salsa goes well with so many things. Try it on a burger, on eggs, on chicken, on roast pork, and, obviously, with some chips. I love experimenting with salsa recipes and styles. Much like barbecue sauce, salsa doesn't have a universal recipe or style. There's room to play, and I *LOVE* that. To add, it's generally quite healthy! So, try out one of my favorite salsa recipes and let me know what you think!

What ya need:
  • 4  medium ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1 bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch of green onions, chopped
  • 2 medium jalapeño peppers, minced (for less heat, use 1 and for flavor only, seed the peppers)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 ear of corn, cooked
  • 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
  • 6 tablespoons of  freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Ok, so-
With a sharp knife, remove the kernels from the ear of corn and dispose of the cob. If you have a tool to do this, go ahead and use it. In a large bowl, toss the kernels with all of the other ingredients, except for the salt and pepper, together with a fork. Taste this and add salt and pepper, in small amounts, until it tastes just the way you like it. Now chill it in the refrigerator for about 3 hours before serving. Play with this recipe and feel free to make it your own!
