Fresh Garden Salsa
Judy made this season’s first salsa yesterday. It’s about as local as you can get. Everything in it is from the garden except the lime. Here’s the recipe:
2 cups chopped cherry tomatoes – red, yellow, orange – most any tomato will work, but the cherry tomatoes, especially the orange Sungolds, give it a particular zing.
¼ c. chopped red onion
3 cloves garlic – chopped finely
1 T. hot pepper (or to taste) – chopped finely
½ c. cilantro – chopped
1 lime – juiced
Mix all together serve in a bowl for dipping.
Good Food from Wisconsin
I enjoyed this with blue corn chips and beer and here the local story continues. The bowls in the pictures are from Cambridge Wood Fired Pottery, owned by our good friend Mark Skudlarek and just 2 miles from home.
The blue corn chips are from Blue Farm Chips in Janesville, produced about 37 miles from Cambridge.
And last, but certainly not least, the beer in the picture is Moon Man Pale Ale from New Glarus Brewery in New Glarus, Wisconsin, 45 miles from home.
We try to eat local and enjoy good food here in Wisconsin, and a snack like this should rate us a gold star.
