Strawberry Salsa

-



I've never really gotten into the whole fruity salsa thing but I kept seeing mango salsa recipes here and there and because I've been elbow deep in strawberries I started thinking about making a colorful strawberry salsa.

I put this one together several times this season, tweaking it a little each time, but I wasn't sure what to serve it with, so here's where you all come in.  I thought I would ask you guys for suggestions what to serve it with. So far I've just eaten it like it is because I love the flavors.



2 cups strawberries, diced
½ sweet yellow bell pepper, diced
small wedege of onion, diced
1 ripe avocado, diced
2 teaspoons Rice Vinegar
Sea Salt, to taste
Lime Salt, to taste
4-5 lemon balm leaves, finely chopped

Combine evrything and allow the flavors to blend before serving.

I'm looking forward to hearing your suggestions!

    looks interesting, i make loads of fruit salsas, from mango to blueberry, i always add heat, as in chiles and serve it with quesadillas, fajitas, to chicken and pork dishes depending on the fruit. i also use loads of cilantro and lime, gosh i am getting way to hungry just thinking about it!

    YUM ~ my daughter made strawberry salsa for a family gathering this weekend. She served it with baked cinnamon sugared pita chips. It was gone before we had the rest of the food out. Looks great.

    Thanks for linking this with Garden Variety Wednesday!

    Your salsa is beautiful...love the bright, sunny colors.

    I'd probably serve it as a side with grilled chicken or pork. If I'm feeling adventurous, maybe fish. With the rice vinegar, lime salt, and lemon balm, it doesn't seem like this would be too sweet for that.

    I would go for grilled chicken, as fish may be too delicate for this bold flavours. Anyway, it looks fantastic!

    Your fruit salsa sounds wonderful! Like Laurie (above), my family enjoys fruit salsa with cinnamon sugar pita chips. Sometimes, I make homemade tortilla chips by baking whole wheat tortillas and giving them a light toss in cinnamon sugar.

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, start...
