Summer Salsa
From lunchboxer 15 years ago
- 2 minutes to make
- Serves 110
My sister gave me this one several years ago. Use it like you would any salsa with crackers, chips, etc. Give it a couple hours + + to marinate for fullest flavor. This can actually be a downright satisfying meal on a hot summer day!
Ingredients
- You can either chop all these with a sharp knife or use a food processor to make this go really fast! shopping list
- 3-10 fresh & ripe medium to large tomatoes (yummy option: chop up those tiny sweet cherry tomatoes for an even bigger burst of flavor) shopping list
- 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped, or one large onion of your choice (vidalia, white, yellow, purple) shopping list
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced (the garlic flavor grows stronger as it marinates) shopping list
- 1-2 small cans chopped green chiles or use fresh hot peppers (you choose the heat level you like best) shopping list
- 1 large handful of fresh parsley, minced shopping list
- 1 large handful of fresh cilantro, minced shopping list
- 1 large bell pepper, diced (orange or yellow looks & tastes great) shopping list
- 1 large seedless cucumber, diced shopping list
- 1 tsp. chili powder shopping list
- 1 bag frozen salad shrimp (or 2+ cans salad shrimp; you can also use larger shrimp, just cut them into small pieces) shopping list
- 1-2 limes shopping list
- shredded cheddar cheese shopping list
- crackers, tortilla chips shopping list
How to make it
- All ingredient amounts are general: This is a recipe that you adjust to your taste. I purposely left out any traces of salt, since the crackers and chips have more than enough for our tastes. Add salt if you like it better.
- Put cheese in serving bowl and chips/crackers on a plate or in baskets for serving.
- Put all chopped vegies & chili powder in mixing bowl; Cut limes in half & squeeze juice into the mixture. Add thawed shrimp and stir till blended. Refrigerate a couple of hours (good) or overnite (best) so all the ingredients blend and soak up the flavors.
- How To Eat It : scoop salsa with cracker or chip, sprinkle cheese on top and chomp.
