Title: Sammi's Fresh Rustic Salsa
Post by: phatassphairy on October 28, 2012, 02:11:54 am
i went looking for a fresh salsa recipe and couldn't find one .... i am sure there is one out there some where .... but this is what i did for dinner  ... and i thought with summer just knocking about the corner i would share what i did last night.

Ingredients
 1/4 of red onion
a few fresh basil leaves
1/2 a small cucumber (cut into 1inch chunks)
1 whole tomato (cut into 1/4s)
1 small tin of corn well drained (same size as a babyfood jar)
......... but if i have had some fresh raw corn (straight off the cob )on hand i would of used that.
1/2 an avocado
tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste.

Method
add onion and basil .... hit a couple of times on pulse (it only took 2 times for me)-- scrap sides down
add tomato and cucumber ... hit pulse once then check .. then hit again if needed
add corn and avocado......hit pulse once.
turn into steam basket .... leave sit for about 5-10 mins to allow vegie juices to drain off.
add to bowl mix in grated cheese salt and pepper.

i hope you enjoy ..... i would also add fresh chill in the first step but had extra kids in the house last night ..so didn't add chilli
