That's why I gave you color descriptions in the original recipe. Do I have to come over and make it for you too, m'nilla?






Also, I sometimes get lazy and rather than hand chop everything, I'll use my vitamix. You can do it with a food processor too, I used to do it that way, but ever since I bought the Vitamix two something years ago, I can count the times I've broken out the food processor on one hand. If you go this route:
Throw the onions in and process.
Throw the cilantro in and pulse a few times.
Empty the bowl (doesn't have to be perfect, just dump out most of it)
Put the peppers in and process.
Put the tomatoes in and pulse to desired consistency.
Dump that into the onion/cilantro mix and take it from there with the limes, salt and cumin.
Gives more of that canned/jarred runny texture that most people are more accustomed to unless they live near the southern border.

....ok, but what if you're color blind?

Here's one I like. Supposedly it's David Ortiz's own recipe:



Big Papi's Mango Salsa

1 cup diced fresh mango
1/3 cup roasted red peppers, drained & diced
1/3 cup diced red onion
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded, minced
2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice


*PREPARATION:
Combine all ingredients and chill. Serve with tortilla chips, also is great over Salmon or Chicken.
Makes 1 1/2 cups of mango salsa.

I love this with chips, on chicken breasts or anything! I now use more jalapeno, very finely minced.
