A down and dirty Salsa Recipe

If you have a hankering for salsa, but you really don’t want to drive to the store and spend $ 3.00 or more for a pint of the store variety. Try this simple recipe for making a great tasting salsa in about 15 minutes. The total cost will depend upon the ingredients you add, but in our case, it costs about $ 2.80 to make 36 ounces or about 2+ pints of fresh salsa versus the minimum of $ 3.00 you would spend at the store. I will take a 50% savings any day of the week.

Ingredients:

2 -15 ounce cans of unsalted, diced tomatoes. If you grow your own tomatoes, you will need 4 cups of diced tomatoes.

1 – large onion, diced. If you like a spicy salsa, use a red onion.

1 tablespoon of garlic powder

½ tablespoon of Cheyenne powder

1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper

Place all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and stir until everything is mixed well. Place in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to chill or use right away per your preference.

If you want to add a little color, you can also add bell peppers, cilantro or even basil.

Note: if you grow your own vegetables and buy your spices in bulk. This recipe can cost virtually nothing. All you need is some fresh tomatoes, peppers, onions, etc from your garden. The spices would be your only cost at less than a dime in total cost.
