Salsa Fresca



This is a recipe from my recipe book that I am working on. It is in the preliminary stages now - figuring out all the exact amounts, picture taking, etc. so I'm not sure when I'll be finished, but I'll keep y'all posted! I was very surprised when I tasted this salsa the first time I made it. It is so simple and yet ssooo delicious!

Ingredients:

- 1 pint grape tomatoes (or equivalent of other kind)
- 1 stalk celery
-1 Tbsp green onions, optional
- 1/4 c cilantro
- juice of 1/2 lime or more if it's not very juicy.

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in food processor and pulse until all is well combined but still a little chunky. Or if you prefer, you can blend it more.

2. Serve with fresh raw veggies - I like cucumber, celery, and romaine lettuce.

You can also add 1/2 of an avocado to this if you would like to make it a little hardier.

Note: If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can just dice everything and make a pico de gallo type salsa.

Banana Carob Fruit Dip

Ingredients:

- 6 bananas
- 1/4 cup raw carob powder*
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
- Fruit of choice for dipping

Directions:

- Blend bananas, carob powder, and cinnamon in blender or food processor until smooth
- Pour into bowl and place in center of large plate.
- Chop fruit of choice and arrange around outside of plate.

*This is where I get my raw carob powder - http://www.amazon.com/Really-Raw-Carob-Powder-16-Ounce/dp/B001691P6C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323231702&sr=8-1

Note: I think the dip would be even better if you added a few dates to it, but I happen to be out at the moment. :)
