Restaurant Style Salsa

I really like to make this salsa during the winter months or when tomatoes are not in season. By using canned tomatoes & adding the fresh ingredients, it creates a delicious “fresh” flavor.

I use my home canned tomatoes (tomatoes & salt) but you can pick some up from the grocery. You can adjust the amounts of tomato & cilantro to your liking.

(TIP: canning whole tomatoes is very easy. I just stuff the jars as full as I can, add 1/2-1 tsp pink salt and can.)

Herbed Tomato & Cucumber Salad

Fresh Summertime Veggies-the “Greek” Way

There’s just nothing like FRESH tomatoes from the garden,  juicy red, full of FLAVOR…YUM!

This salad is so refreshing in the summer. It makes a great addition to a meal and is very refreshing as a snack.

Olive oil is a wonderful healthy fat so drizzling it over your fresh vegetables helps get your fat intake for the day! Fresh oregano tastes amazing on this dish, however you can use dried. (Did you know oregano is the BEST anti-fungal we have on this earth?!)

Fresh Garden Salsa

Fresh Garden Salsa!

One of my favorite things about summer is the bountiful produce! With that comes one of my favorite recipes that I HAVE to make several times each year: Fresh Garden Salsa!

There are several different varieties of this recipe that you can use.  Add black beans and corn for more of a meal, leave out the peppers, add more peppers, add avocado(if you have leftovers, they will get brown and yuck) or any other combination that sounds good.

You can serve them with blue corn tortilla chips (my favorite), add quinoa to make a salad, quesadillas..the possibilities are endless. Get creative 🙂

Happy Munchin’ 🙂  *Please choose organic ingredients when possible.
