| A few weeks ago, my husband and I went to | | | | Each bite gave me a new taste of freshness with |
| the Midtown Global Market in Minneapolis, MN. On | | | | some zip to it. It was just wonderful. A good |
| that particular Sunday, there was a Latino festival. | | | | chevre will also be an addition to my chips and |
| To tie into the theme of the day's activity, there | | | | salsa in the future. |
| was a Salsa tasting. We are always up for a | | | | Molly's recipe makes a gallon of her Salsa. It is |
| taste of some good chips and salsa, so off we | | | | perfect for a party or just because. The salsa will |
| went. | | | | hold for 3 - 4 days properly stored in the |
| There were two standouts for us that day and | | | | refrigerator. I wouldn't hesitate to cut the recipe in |
| each for a very different reason. As we were | | | | half (or even fourths), but you might have to |
| leaving the market, we went by the Callister's | | | | adjust for onion and pepper additions. |
| Farm in the Market stall to see if we could | | | | - 24 fresh Roma tomatoes, diced |
| purchase some of their salsa for that evening. | | | | - 1 bunch Cilantro, remove stems and dice |
| Well, surprise, Molly was there and she made the | | | | - 1 Serrano pepper (or pepper to your taste), |
| salsa just for the competition and they really | | | | seeds removed and diced |
| didn't have any to sell. Molly was kind enough to | | | | - Juice from 2 fresh limes |
| share her recipe and I really want to honor her, | | | | - 1 red onion, diced |
| the incredibly fresh product they served, and the | | | | - 1 teaspoon salt |
| wonderful job Callister's Farm in the Market does | | | | Blend ingredients gently. Refrigerate for at least |
| providing superior local products. | | | | an hour before serving to allow flavors to settle. |
| Coming from the west coast, I consider Molly's | | | | This salsa is not just for chips. I would use it to |
| salsa as more of a Pico de Gallo. It was just | | | | top grilled fish or chicken or on my tacos any day |
| loaded with the freshest of ingredients, served on | | | | of the week. Actually, I would eat it any day of |
| a tortilla chip with a crumble of chevre on top. | | | | the week, if I could. |
