Salsa (Julie Ashcroft)
1/2 yellow onion
1 red pepper
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1/2 bunch cilantro
5 green onions
3 jalepeno peppers
48 oz. diced tomatoes
2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp onion salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp crushed red pepper
2 tsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp lemon juice
Cut your vegetables in a food processor and the mix all ingredients together. I taste it to see how it tastes, if it is too hot, I usually add another can of tomatoes. If it needs a little more salt, add some more garlic salt. This salsa turns out a little different each time depending on how hot the peppers are. Enjoy!
