The Goodness of Garden Salsa

My mother and I both had an overabundance of tomatoes this year. We canned whole tomatoes, salsa, tomato juice, sauce and bruschetta. I also came up with a great recipe for fresh garden salsa. The salsa can be added to any dish. I love it with quinoa in a stuffed tomato or pepper. It can also be added in a lettuce or pasta salad. It can be enjoyed simply with corn or carrot chips. 

Fresh Garden Salsa

2 cups diced tomatoes {or cherry tomatoes cut in half

1 medium diced onion

2 cups bell & mild banana peppers {mix it up by using fun colors, such as purple or orange}

1 or 2 tbsp hot peppers {depending on how spicy you like it!}

1 cup black or garbanzo beans

3 tbsp hummus

1 tbsp garlic powder

2 tsp chili powder

2 tsp truffle oil {or olive oil if you don't like the truffle taste}

4 tbsp infused vinegar {i like garlic & basil!}

** an additional ingredient that goes great in this salsa is chili spiced mangos from Trader Joe's, or just 1/4 cup chopped regular mango**

Mix all ingredients together and let set in fridge for an hour.
