Don's 'Fresh' Salsa
This is a great way to use canned tomatoes in combination with fresh herbs and green onions to jazz up a dull, grey, winter day.

Ingredients:

• 2 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1 bunch green onions, trimmed and roughly chopped into 3-4" pieces
• 1 bunch cilantro, washed and chopped into a few smaller bunches
• juice of one lime
• 1 tsp. olive oil
• 1 tbsp. cumin (or to taste)
• 1 tbsp. chili powder (or to taste)
• salt and pepper
• 1 28-ounce can of tomatoes, drained of as much juice as possible
• hot sauce or finely chopped fresh or pickled hot peppers to taste

Put the garlic, green onions and cilantro into the bowl of a food processor. Whizzzzz until well-chopped. Add the lime juice, olive oil, seasonings, tomatoes and hot sauce or hot peppers. Whizzzzz again until the mixture is well-blended and achieves your desired consistency, chunky, smooth or somewhere in between! Enjoy with nacho chips, as a topping for chili, quesadillas or tacos.
