Fresh Half-Cooked Salsa
Ready In: 50 mins
Serves: 15-20
Ingredients
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1⁄4 green pepper, chopped
- 1⁄4 red pepper, chopped
- 1⁄4 orange bell peppers or 1⁄4 yellow pepper, chopped
- 1 small tomatillo, peeled, rinsed, and chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1⁄4 jalapeno, chopped (leave out for mild salsa) (optional)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
- 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 tomatoes, chopped
- 1⁄2 large cucumber, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (I wash, remove stems, and freeze when buying, so mine is frozen)
- 1⁄2 mango, chopped (for a sweeter salsa) (optional)
- 2 green onions, chopped (optional)
- 1⁄2-1 tablespoon lime juice or 1⁄2-1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (approx., I add a little at a time until it tastes good to me)
- 1 avocado, chopped
Directions
- Sauté onion, peppers, tomatillo, garlic, pepper flakes and ground pepper in olive oil briefly, about 3-5 minutes, remove from heat and cool.
- Add to bowl with remaining ingredients minus salt and avocado.
- Add salt to taste, I try to use just enough to bring out flavors nicely without making it too salty.
- Add avocado just before serving if possible.
