"THE" SALSA

Do you like it hot and spicy? I’m talking about salsa here! Load it with garlic and peppers and your taste buds will rejoice while the tears start to flow. “The” salsa is easy to make, you just put everything in a food processor and mix. In no time you’ll be dipping tortilla chips in or adding this fresh salsa to your favorite redneck cooking recipes.

Ingredients:
4 oz. can chopped olives
4 oz. can green chilies
1 jalapeño pepper -- 2 if you are really brave
1 cup chopped white onion
3 scallions chopped
2 tbls. red wine vinegar
4 plum tomatoes
16 oz. can crushed tomatoes
3 tbs of extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup cilantro
2 cloves of garlic

How To:
Combine all the ingredients in food processor; pulse 6 to 8 times, until the thickness is to your liking. Some like it chunky, with large pieces of tomato, some like it more blended, so take the lid off and check it after about six 2-second pulses. It can go from a salsa to a soup in seconds so pay attention.

Not only is this great to dip it makes a great taco topping or omelet filler.
