RED AND GREEN SALSA



Red and Green Salsa image

I put together this recipe to use with a Chorizo dish that I plan to make. I had all of the ingredients on hand. Just a little chopping, mix everything together, and let it sit room temperature for a couple hours to let the flavors meld together. Best of all the taste is delicious.

RED AND GREEN SALSA

This is good stuff - not the chunky kind but the kind you wish you could fit more of on your tortilla chip. Developed by San Francisco Chef Traci Des Jardins, cut out of an article in the New York Times food section. Tomatillos look like little green tomatoes in husks. If you don't have any available where you live, use a cup of salsa verde (green salsa) and adjust the additional heat downward accordingly. I've tried it both ways.

CALIENTE CHRISTMAS SALSA

This is a salsa with vibrant colors and even more vibrant flavors! It utilizes authentic ingredients that are all adjustable to suit individual tastes! If fresh cactus is not available, canned cactus may be substituted. The final mixture will be a variegated red and green and will be quite wet. This is a delicious and spicy salsa that, when bottled, makes a nice gift!
