Whimpy Salsa

I made some of my "Whimpy Salsa" the other day and I've had a flash flood of people asking me for the recipe so instead of re writing it 20 times I thought I'd just make a blog post out of it.  I love salsa but I am a major baby when it comes to anything spicy! (like, too much Ketchup is spicy for me) 

I found a recipe on Pinterest, it was a cilantro lime chicken recipe with tomatoes on the top, I made it for dinner one night and it was really good but I made WAY too much of the tomato topping and didn't want to waste it! 

So I thought, 

"hmm I BET I could turn this into salsa!

So added my own stuff and VIOLA! Wimpy Salsa was born! 

It's more of a zesty-lime-vegetarian-salsa so don't feel bad about eating 2 bottles of it in one sitting

.i don't.

So first off sorry about the bad instructions

I didn't major in fractions so I never use measuring cups if I can get away with it lol

My recipe makes about 7 cups of salsa so I'll let you do the math if you want more or less than that :)

Here are the ingredients

1 White Onion

8 (ish) Scallions (Green Onions)

3 Big Tomatoes

2 Cans of Corn

Cilantro 

Salt & Pepper

Olive Oil

Sugar

Lime Juice 

Dice up the green onions, white onions and tomatoes into small chunks. Pour the corn (no water) and diced veggies into a large bowl. Stir. Add 3.5 table spoons of lemon juice, you can add more or less if you like, just keep tasting it as you go. Stir. Pour on olive oil, i'm not sure how much I actually use, I just cover the top and then mix it all in. If I HAD to estimate I bet it would be around 3/4's a cup. Just make sure the mix has a light coat, don't drown it and you'll be fine. Stir. Finely chop up the cilantro, I always use 1/2 to 3/4's of the bundle but this is another ingredient you add as much or as little as you like. 

(This is dumb but I add just enough to make the salsa look pretty and then call it good ha ha ha.) 

Add to mix and stir.

Next step is the MVP of this recipe! THE SUGAR!! I put about 3.5 table spoons of sugar in, especially if my tomatoes aren't perfectly ripe. Add to mix and stir. This is another ingredient you can add more or less of if you like. 

Last, salt and pepper to taste!

I put mine in jars so they stay fresh and I can easily take them over to peoples house.

GREAT neighborhood gift at Christmas and everyone LOVES this stuff! 

Enjoy!
