RESISTANCE-IS-FUTILE SALSA

RESISTANCE-IS-FUTILE SALSA
(A modified version of my Caliente Salsa proportioned for use with a hand blender.)



Just got my first immersion (hand) blender at Costco and already I love it!  Whipped up this salsa in less than 5 minutes and couldn't stop eating it until the bowl was empty.

Ingredients:

4 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped
1/6 large red onion, diced
1 baby carrots, sliced
1 radish, diced
1 Tbsp. minced or crushed garlic
1 Tbsp. canola oil
1 dash salt
1 dash black pepper
Small pinch dried thyme

Directions:

1.  Add all ingredients to small mixing bowl (preferably one made for your hand blender).

2.  Mix on high speed until desired consistency (15-30 seconds).  Try not to eat it out of the mixing bowl with your fingers.

Notes:

*Adding a bit of chopped cilantro leaves would make it even more irresistable...I just didn't have any on hand because, despite my best efforts, my attempts to grow cilantro have heretofore been unsuccessful...
