GENIES' MAGIC SALSA
Salsa concocted by the Genies of Gourmet team for Zaar World Tour 5, blending elements of pico de gallo, guacamole, and green salsa in a single mild but tasty dip. Members of the team suggested ingredients which were then put together by my DH. Here are the suggestions: tomatillos: CharlotteJ; cilantro: Vicki in Ct; lime: MarraMamba; garlic: Island Gurl; onions: A Good Thing; jalapeƱos: Westtextazzy; salt: Chef sizzle; cumin: LoriInIndiana; avocado: Lavender Lynn; tomato: MissChef-Maker.

Steps:
- Remove husks from tomatillos and rinse well. Cut in half and broil, cut side down, close to elements, until about half of the skin of each is blackened.
- Remove as much of the skin as will peel off, paper-like, without taking the flesh with it. Some skin in the salsa is ok, but skin adds a bitter flavor.
- Place the roasted tomatillos in a blender and pulse until mostly but not completely liquified. Pour into a small mixing bowl, leaving a little in the blender. Add brown sugar to taste, just enough to cut any residual bitterness in the tomatillo mixture.
- Dice the tomatoes and red onion. Peel the avocado, remove any dark spots, and dice -- do not squash, this isn't guacamole.
- Finely mince the garlic, and chop the celantro. Add the prepared ingredients, plus cumin, salt, and lime juice, to the tomatillo mixture and gently fold together.
- Chill this mixture while you make the dressing.
- Dressing: Slice the three peppers in half lengthwise, removing white core, seeds, and stem. Broil as you did the tomatillos but do not remove the skin. Place the roasted peppers in the blender with oil, vinegar, and any tomatillo left there. Pulse to break up the peppers, then run on medium speed until the mixture is almost smooth. This is the flavor kick of the salsa, to be added to your taste. Start with half, gently stir in, sample, and add more as you like. (It won't be extremely hot even with all of the dressing.).

MAGIC BULLET SEVEN-SECOND SALSA
This is from the Magic Bullet Cookbook. Posted in response to a request on the forum. The quantity is an estimate. The book doesn't give the servings but measuring with water, the large cup holds about 2-1/2 cups. Based on a suggestion, I have switched the order of onions and tomatoes...in the original recipe from Magic Bullet, the onions go in first and the tomatoes third. Please feel free to adjust any of the ingredients to your taste ... everyone has different tastes and what pleases one person may not please the next. Thank you for your suggestions to make this a better recipe.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients, IN THE ORDER THEY ARE LISTED, into the tall cup (you may need to cut up the tomatoes).
- Twist on the cross blade and place the cup onto the power base.
- Give it several quick pulses. Do not over-process -- salsa should be chunky.
- Remember to apply a bit of counter-clockwise pressure to the cup to keep it from locking-on.
