What kind of treats do you make...

[Guest guest]

What do you make for someone who does not like sweets? I would like to

bring a treat for a paralegal who saved my butt this week at work, her

favorite snack is chips and salsa. I would like to make her some

homemade salsa, but I can only get nasty winter tomatoes this time of

year here. Suggestions?

Thanks!

Can you get cherry tomatoes? I recently was at the grocery store & asked a

hispanic lady what type of tomatoes did she use to make salsa & she said she

always uses cherry tomatoes...

Audrey,

What about Salsa Verde? You can get wonderful Tomatillos at your local market or

Mexican speciality food store.

 

Your best bet for fresh tomatoes is your health food market. The tomatoes will

be imported but often a better quality than regular markets. You should be able

to get organic tomatoes from Mexico at this time of the year. Fresh Cilantro

can also be found at your local health food store.

Try this, it works and will be delicious. I have done it many times in a pinch.

Get a nice thick jar of salsa, drain it a little bit, add minced fresh onion,

and cilantro. You can also add sliced olives and basil to give it an Italian

touch. I've added minced cucumber too.
