TXMomof4 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I have a recipe I just HAD to share. A friend made this snack for a meeting a few weeks ago and I just can't get enough of it! Strawberry Salsa 2 carton grape tomatoes - diced 1 carton strawberries - diced 1/2 c. cilantro - chopped 6 green onions - chopped 6 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar (I use 3 because I love balsamic vinegar) Mix the cilantro, onions, oil and vinegar. Add diced tomatoes and strawberries. Chill for 1 hour. Serve with tortilla chips. How simple and delicious! With a roasted chicken it makes a fabulous summer side. Enjoy!

TiaNKids Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Um, that sounds really good! Does it have a sweet taste from the strawberries? Tia I have a recipe I just HAD to share.

TXMomof4 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Um, that sounds really good! Does it have a sweet taste from the strawberries? Tia . It does have a sweet taste, but it's just a hint of sweet. More of a tang really? I suppose you could leave out the cilantro - but it doesn't have the typical cilantro flavor. I think the vinegar tones it down. My mom, who hates cilantro, even liked this. Anyway, it's yummy - makes me happy on a hot early summer afternoon!

Ellie Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'm just pondering the concept of *dicing* grape tomatoes.:blink: The women of my church will be coming over for a fellowship evening in a couple of weeks. I think I'll make this, although those tomatoes might not be diced, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherLynn Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 SOunds good! I may make this today. I am laughing at myself though. The first time I read it I read the green onions as olives and I thought "I'll just leave those out". LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'm just pondering the concept of *dicing* grape tomatoes.:blink: My thoughts exactly. I think I'll try throwing them in the food processor. Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMomof4 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 My mom has one of those chopper things - it worked alright. I just quarter them, but it is time consuming. Well worth it if you don't have a food processor though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Car Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I have a recipe I just HAD to share. A friend made this snack for a meeting a few weeks ago and I just can't get enough of it! That sounds really good! Could you subsitute the cilatro with something else? I'm not a fan of it but this sounds good enough to try to change it. I'd suggest Italian parsley. You'd still get the "green" flavor, color, and texture, but without the "soapy" taste of cilantro that some people can't abide. Not me, I love it :D Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
