A couple of weeks ago at Alden Lane Nursery, we entered a home-grown tomatoe salsa contest. Since we basically have a salsa garden we used all our veggies... hoping it would garuntee us a win. So we did a major harvest, chopped all day, Sam cried over our onions, and we didn't even get in the top three!! We were the only ones that did a pico de gilo (not sure how to spell that) , so we think thats what hurt us. However, when Mike went to pick up the container the women working there said they liked ours the best because it was a pico style! So I guess we learned for next year that we will magic bullet all our veggies!! Or just enter in two styles, so we can please everybody.
We obviously had tons of veggies... these pictures don't even show all the onions we picked!! Our sink is about a foot deep and it was almost filled to the top!!The ingredients were:
white onions, green peppers, jalapeno, red peppers, banana peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, lime, lemon, and garlic!! AMAZING!!!
Here is the final product!! We had to make a quart of salsa... so we made twice the amount because we knew we would eat a lot of it before the contest started. We thought it was really good!!
