Tap Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I don't have what you are asking for but I make a lime/garlic/cucumber salsa. I use approximately 8-10 roma tomatoes choped 1 fist sized finely chopped sweet onion if you like it mild or 1 white onion if you like it spicier 3 diced jalapenos (diced-up, jarred slices are fine) if you like it hot but you don't have to put any in if you don't want to. If you don't like to handle them, you can process them with the food processor. salt 1 cucumber, peeled and de-seeded (slice in 1/2 lengthwise-then use spoon to scoop seeds) then chopped. 1 large bunch of cilantro, leave ends only, washed and finely chopped. One handful after being chopped. 1 small bunch of green onions, chopped. 1 fresh lime: I use a sharp knife and slice of the outer green layer (avoiding the white as much as possible) and finely dice it. If you have a really good food processor, you can skip the dicing and let it do it for you in the next step. in food processor I put: juice of one lime and zest (from the lime mentioned above)-if you can't get limes I have skipped the zest and just added lime juice from the bottle-no nearly as good but edible- I buy the frozen Minute Maid brand) I have also used lemons or 1/2 and 1/2 but all lime is the best to me. 2 cloves garlic-can increase depending on your taste splash of vinegar 1/4 teaspoon sugar small amount of olive oil-maybe a teaspoon? If you don't have a food processor finely dice the garlic as fine as you can, and just stir it with the other ingredients. You can absolutely skip the cucumber, especially if you are using this in a hot dish. My family lives on this in the summer, it is very good to add a can of rinsed black beans, and chopped up grilled chicken. Refrigerate it all and devour with chips. mmmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
