Salsa, Because I live with 3 other 20-something girls who like to SPICE THINGS UP!


I have this food processor/hand mixer/blender/most awesome kitchen gadget I own!
You should look into it. It's made by Cuisinart and it's called the "Smart Stick Hand Blender with Whisk and Chopper attachment."

I use it but you can use a food processor or a blender.
I use 4-5 Roma tomatoes
about 1/4 large sweet yellow onion
1/2-1 squeezed lime juice (depending on size)
1-2 pickled jalapenos (depending on size an spice preference)
1-2 cloves GARLIC depending on size
5-9 stems (leaves taken off the stems) of cilantro
1 cup frozen corn (thawed)
1 can black beans drained

Process everything but the corn and beans together until smooth. (I do the tomatoes separately from the rest then mix it all together.) then mix in the corn and beans. Chill for an hour (if you can wait that long. Really it is best to make it the night before so the flavors can get comfortable with each other... They can be a little shy at first but after a night together they seem to be more social. And yes, I just personified flavors. try it and you'll see what I mean.

ENJOY! Oh, and you may want to save a little for our next recipe!
