Last Minute Salsa
Lazy night meant Mexican take-out tonight... But I decided to try and freshen up the meal with a last minute salsa while Lori drove out to pick up our burritos. Salsa is such an easy and kinda fun thing to make. I hadn't planned on making it at all, but with a little scrounging around the kitchen and picking a few fresh items from the garden we were in great shape. Here's what I did:
- Chopped up about a cup fresh tomato and tossed into a bowl (2 of our 4th of july tomatoes, 1 purchased heirloom local tomato)
- Minced about 2 Tablespoons spring onion (red onion works well too), and tossed into the same bowl
- Minced 2/3rd of a jalapeno and tossed into the bowl
- Added 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Added the juice from 1/2 lime
- Added 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped up cilantro (first pinches from our garden!)
- Added 2 teaspoons local honey
- Added 1 pinch of kosher salt
- Stirred this all up, and let it steep for 30 minutes.
