Salsa


I made and canned salsa last fall and we have been enjoying that, but once in a while we get a craving for fresh vegetables and that's when I make fresh salsa.  I don't use a recipe I just add the vegetables and amounts that seem right.  I believe the first time I had this salsa was at my sister's house, so she deserves full credit.  The number of jalapenos I use depends on how spicy they are.  I use red, yellow, or orange bell peppers if I can get a good price on them, otherwise I just use green peppers.  We prefer green onions, but red or yellow onions would work just as well.  I use a garlic press on the garlic to get the juice, as well as some small chunks.  Then to make guacamole I mash up a couple of avocados and add a scoop of salsa, oh so good.

Here is the list of ingredients I use:
tomatoes
bell peppers
green onions
jalapenos
cilantro
juice of lime
garlic

  1. Amazing Salsa! Have you tried mayonnaise in your guacamole? Emily puts some in and it makes it adds a nice smoothness to it. And lots of lime juice too.

  2. I have not tried that, but I have added sour cream with good results.
