BEST "NOT TOO HOT" SALSA

Steps:

• Using a blender pour entire contents of the can of whole tomatoes, liquid and all into blender.
• Add finely chopped green onion, the red pepper and salt.
• Pulse a few times in blender until the consistency of salsa.
• You may want to taste and adjust everything but tomatoes to taste, if you like it hotter, etc.
• It tastes better if chilled overnight as all the tastes combine together.

SURPRISINGLY TASTY TOMATO-LESS SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Chop green onion and all peppers. (De-vein and de-seed peppers before chopping. I leave in only the Serrano's veins and seeds for a MEDIUM heat. For HOT heat, leave the jalapenos' veins and seeds in also.) Add to bowl.
• 2. Next, chop and add cilantro, red onion and garlic to mixture. Stir.
• 3. Drizzle very lightly with oil, (about 2 teaspoons.) Then add red wine vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste. (I add about a teaspoon of each.) Stir, making sure to coat everything with oil and vinegar.
• 4. Serve with chips or as a topping for tacos, nachos, burgers... endless choices. (Add to a large container of sour cream to make a unique, spicy dip.)
