13.10 Salsa, i.e. Bruschetta
A salsa is just a finely-chopped salad
with a spicy dressing. You can use it as a topping on any number of
dishes: salads, eggs, meats, grains, beans, bread, etc. By the same
token, bruschetta (or more accurately, the topping which goes on
bruschetta) is really just a salsa with olive oil instead of hot
pepper. You can use it on anything.
Salsa can be primarily tomato, but it
can also be corn. Or, for that matter, it can be made out of
peaches, or mango, or apple. There really aren’t any rules.
Salsa can be used to dip tortilla chips
in, of course, but it can also be served over salad greens, over
meat, on toast, or eaten with a spoon. Toss some salsa with some
cold cooked grains (recipe #) and you’ve just invented a whole new
salad. It’s up to you.
1 chopped tomato (or 1 cob of corn)
1 minced clove of garlic, or dried
garlic to taste
½ small onion, minced; or a stalk or
two of green onion, minced; or dried onion to taste
hot pepper to taste, or 2 tbsp olive
oil
salt and pepper to taste
