*Mexican-style kernel corn
*Plum Tomato
*Lime Juice
*Cilantro
*Baby Shallot
*Jalapeño

I let the corn salsa sit in the fridge while I prepared the rest of the dish which contained:
*Sweet Potatoes
*Yellow Onion
*Garlic
*Jalapeño
*Cumin & Salt
*Red Bell Pepper
*Swiss Chard
*Lime Juice
*Refried Black Beans

Here it is all plated up! This was a great healthy meal and provided plenty for leftovers. We used the remainder of our flour tortillas for this dinner, so I toasted up some bread, applied ingredients, and had a new leftover sandwich the next day. I have never tried burrito toppings on a sandwich. It turned out pretty good!

Viola!
You know...as I was making my own fresh salsa last Thursday...I contemplated the ramifications of putting the salsa in the fridge. Yes, I know I have to do it...however, when a tomato hits a certain temperature it looses its flavor. File this under "You know you are a food nerd when..."
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. Your comment prompted some research...and now my tomatoes will never go in the fridge again!!!
ReplyDeleteWell maybe sometime...I can't predict the future.
